I haven't seen the Twitter thread! I'd seen one on how to grow your own yeast with dried fruit, flour, and water, but not one on using store-bought yeast to grow your own. I actually have a thing of dried fruit in my cabinet that I could potentially use for that, but that involved a degree of experimenting that I wasn't quite comfortable with in case it made a huge mess.

I really miss gardening now that I'm living in a condo, so having the compost bucket is actually really comforting. If you balance the materials right, it just smells like dirt, which I miss, it's taught me a lot about soil composition and how to restore potting soil that's already had something growing in it, and on a basic level it's fascinating watching bits of celery and coffee grounds and paper towel break down and combine into something recognizable as soil. I've been using sharewaste.com to find people nearby who have yards or mixers I can take my compost to, so that way I just keep a bucket on my balcony, keep it carbon balanced so it doesn't smell, and drop it off at someone else's house every month or so.
