    Why not?  — 2 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...  — 3 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.

    We have a "REAL" compost pile...  — 11 months ago

    After the first lawn mowing of the year, we put up a wire mesh compost fence in a corner of the yard and started dumping grass clippings, leaves, and table scraps in it. It feels so good to
    A) get the table scraps out of the garbage where they attract flies and smell
    B) Not add the table scraps to a landfill or have to use the garbage disposal
    C) know that what I’m doing is good for the environment and for my garden (hopefully next year!)

    Worth doing!

    I have a triple bin I built out of concrete blocks a couple of years back. It was hard work, but totally worth it. I have about a dozen 10 gallon buckets that I use to store compostables until a bin is free. Meanwhile, I have two bins filled and turn them into the empty bin about once a week. The turning keeps the pile aerobic and speeds up the process. If I turn it every other day I can have finished compost in about 6 weeks, but I’m a little lazy. We beg the local green grocer for his past prime produce, and what can’t be fed to the chickens and rabbits goes in the compost, along with the straw bedding from the coops and all the bunny poop you could ever hope for ;) Even shredded newspaper can go in, it helps to balance out the wet kitchen scraps. If it came from the soil it can usually revert back given the right conditions. Ashes to ashes, yada, yada, yada…..........
