Come On and Compost!
Composting is one of the ways that we get to practice the “Reduce and ReUse” elements of “Reduce, ReUse, Recycle.” By starting a composting practice you are reducing the amount of waste that makes its way to our landfills and you are creating a wonderful organic mixture to help your garden grow!
I have been interested in starting a compost pile ever since I saw my friend’s beautiful backyard filled with flowers and herbs and vegetables, etc. She walked around and pointed out several lovely plants telling me they were ‘volunteers.’ In response to my puzzled look, she went on to explain that when you compost, seeds that don’t decompose completely can actually grow a new plant, hence her lovely watermelon plant.

So I’ve started my compost at long last. I haven’t gotten through to the part where I get to put the humus in the ground, but it feels good every time I add to the bin instead of adding to the trash. I have notice at least a bag less of 
trash each week
– “Reduce & Re-Use" in action!
