    Small tub 6 months ago

    Finally started this goal. Got a small tub to collect kitchen compostable material. Next step: install larger tub in backyard.

    I just need to get myself a compost bucket. Which might not be for awhile since I have my phone bill to pay.

    once the weather gets warmer, i just need a big plastic storage container, poke some holes in it, get a bit of soil and go for it. i’m already good with separating my garbage – i know what can and can’t go in there.

    and once it becomes full, i’ll either offer it to people, sell it, or dump it on the communal garden compost heap.

    Starting Soon 14 months ago

    Since I’m eating all veggies now, I have a lot of organic matter that gets thrown out. I’ll soon have my own place and no roommates, so I think I’ll start a compost in the backyard. I don’t have much use for it, but there is a small flower bed in front of the house, and maybe I can start one in the back yard too. Won’t be planting anything until next spring, but it will take that long to get the compost really going anyway.

    I won’t mark this as done until I actually get a bucket and start collecting.



    that one girl knows that all big changes are made one small decision at a time!

    Why not? 17 months ago

    I don’t see any reason not to compost. It would cut down on my garbage accumulation, it’s better for the environment, it cuts down on pollution and garbage collection costs, reduces greenhouse gases, and it isn’t a whole lot of work. The only question remaining is what to do with it. I don’t garden, I don’t grow crops or flowers, and none of my friends really do either. Maybe I’ll start this when I move into my new place. I just need a bucket and some space in the yard, maybe one of those big compost bins.



    Not Quite Ready... 18 months ago

    My current location/ living situation isn’t quite ideal for composting. I am living in an officetel in Korea at the moment. So for now, I am on the track of reading about and learning the ropes of composting. Hopefully, when I get back stateside I will be ready.

    It’s just another step in being more “green”.
