Hey guys,

What do you guys do with all of the nasty algae you clean off of your turf scrubber screens? The last time I cleaned it I didn't really want to wash it down the drain so I tossed it in the garbage, but that was a mistake! After a couple of hours the stench of rotting algae was terrible.

Thanks

some people feed their herbivores with it. Others just toss it. I’m contemplating using it as compost once I get my ATS up and running.
 
The problem with tossing it is how bad it smells. I'm sure adding it to your compost would be just as bad

true but it’d be outside. At which point I really wouldn’t mind
