inI ignored the frost line and now my patio is splitting apart
Ugh, I feel your pain so much. I made almost the same mistake with some sprinkler lines a few years back, buried them maybe eight inches down thinking it was fine. A hard freeze pushed the ground up and snapped a line, water went everywhere under the walkway. The fix ended up costing way more than just digging deeper would have. It's a tough lesson to learn the hard way.

inRant: My compost bin drew rats and set back my green goals
Wait, you threw food waste in without knowing the rules? That's like the number one thing they warn you about! No wonder you got rats, they'll smell that from a mile away. Gotta research before you start these things.

inMy grandpa taught me to mix mortar by hand, now I use a drill
Totally. I tried to learn a shortcut in a spreadsheet last month and just couldn't get it until my coworker leaned over and moved my mouse for me.
