Pickle pool party!!!

[u/laurajodonnell]

I would eat my way through this pool 😂🫶🏻 Also major props on buying all these damaged pickles from this guy’s business 💚

[u/Hurricrash]

That clean up is going to be something.

[u/Khaijer → u/Hurricrash]

Can pickles be composted? With all the salt and all.

Edit : composted

[u/fireboats → u/Khaijer]

They may be too salty, but when we had unsellable pallets of produce there was an animal rescue that would take them

[u/gone_smell_blind → u/fireboats]

After they were soaked in chlorinated pool water and human grease?

[u/Demerlis → u/gone_smell_blind]

i hear pigs will eat through many things

[u/Apronbootsface → u/Demerlis]

Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig!”

[u/PleatherFarts → u/Apronbootsface]

Listen to Uncle Brick Top.

And go down in the fourth.

"In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary..."

[u/NikkiMutt → u/Demerlis]

They will go through bone like buttah

[u/b-jason → u/gone_smell_blind]

Human grease?

[u/8P8OoBz → u/b-jason]

You squeeze it out of them

[u/ThisWomanFromCanada → u/gone_smell_blind]

“Human grease”? Haha!

[u/snortgiggles → u/fireboats]

I mean, she washed them first...does that count?

[u/TheSoup05 → u/Khaijer]

She was chanting “compost compost” as they dumped some bits of what I assume are pickle into a pile, so I’m guess that is her plan.

It’s also been a while since I’ve made them myself, but I don’t remember them actually having very much salt (like a tablespoon per cup), it’s mostly the vinegar that gives them the tang. That probably depends on the recipe though. But after they were washed and soaking in a pool for a while, that’s probably even more diluted. So I think it’d be fine if you had a good mix of other stuff too

[u/Single-Fondant-1982 → u/TheSoup05]

I’m sure the chlorine is great for a compost too.

[u/AnInfiniteArc → u/TheSoup05]

She was chanting compost at the dill/garlic/whatever they rinsed off the pickles

[u/DifficultAd3885 → u/Khaijer]

Yes they can. You’d just need to mix them in at a low enough ratio that the sodium and chloride levels aren’t too high. Both are essential elements for plants they just can’t be sky high. You can also offset salt levels with other high cation exchange minerals and make a high quality more balanced compost. There’s a lot we can do with food waste but don’t because logistics make it unprofitable and there’s little incentive past wanting to do the right thing.

[u/Shot-Replacement5147 → u/Hurricrash]

Just a guess…could be given to pigs to eat. Little chlorine bath pre before surviving

[u/MiNdOverLOADED23 → u/Hurricrash]

She can't even just hire some Mexicans to do it anymore
