We had dinner with friends recently and left their home with all their good dirt. No my friends, not gossip, but real dirt. Strange gift? Well, they recently installed an indoor composter under the sink in the city apartment, but without a yard to dispose of it, they share the wealth with us for use in our vegetable garden. Some gifts really do come in unusual packages and we are grateful!

If you do have a yard, consider having a compost bin or more simply, a compost pile. Call your town public works office to find out if they sell them (that’s where we bought ours). This is a GREAT way to minimize your waste by keeping all of your produce out of the trash bin. We’re also planning to start a second slower-working pile since we have a wealth of yard waste and leaves, living in New England.

Have questions about how we compost? Let me know!
