For the record, I tilled in a binful of my cat-centric compost and planted
some cucumbers, with peppers and hopefully eggplant to follow. If all goes
to plan, I will be a guinea pig for your theories about cat to human
transfer of toxoplasmosis, feline lukemia, or hairballs.

You have to use vegetarian poop to compost, like horse or cow as it
breaks down better and does not make nasties. Some people do use
dog/cat/people (chinee) but that is not recommended in general.

The alpacas are all organic and the heat of my wee composter tends to inhibit
bad things from taking place. I have yet to get it to actually ignite, but on
occasion there is some really nice steam coming off the pile in the morning.

Don't put wood chips in your compost, they suck up too much of something

Agreed. Whatever size chipper you buy it will be too small most of
the time. If you only chip once or twice a year, you may be better
off to rent one, if you have a good rental place anywhere near.

I just took down a HUGE willow and a very big sugar maple. Bought a used
MacKissic Merry Mac 6hp chipper shredder for $200. Sharpened chipper
blade. Has been doing a good(and easy) job of turning all of the brush

I have a snears/mtd. parts are available through snears, but not cheap.
Mine has a hopper that lays down so you can sweep leaves into it.
THat is good if you really plan to chop up leaves.
I have had to repair the hopper because of the vibration. I bought a
wire/flux core welder for that.
