Sun Tea, Lemonade, Tire Composter

Given the tell-tale signs of a thriving rodent population, I've been anxious to consume seldom-used food items, like sugar and tea.

Sun Tea
Cost:  $1.00/carafe

Steep 6 tea bags in carafe in direct sun until it assumes tea-like hue (approx 3 hours).
Put used tea bags in worm bin

Lemonade
Cost:  $1.50/8 glasses

Drink half of a gallon jug of water, leaving you with 8 cups and a container
Pick ripe lemons off your tree (you need about 20/batch)
Juice lemons - tire compost the rinds
1.5 cups lemon juice
1.5 cups white granulated sugar
8 cups of water
Mix

Tire Composter
Stack any tires the previous owner left you with (2)
Fill with a layer of veggie/fruit matter (citrus b/c the worms don't care for it)
Cover with brown matter (chipper shredder mulch of hideous tree)
Repeat (breakfast grapefruit!)

When we're super sophisticated, we may experiment with watering the compost, stirring it, and infusing it with chicken poop...
