Do you compost?

Regardless of where you live, do you compost? If so, how? How long have you been doing it for?

If you don’t compost, what would it take for you to start? More space? Education? Fear of stink, bugs, creatures, etc?

Personally, I wanted to compost for a long time, but I didn’t know what it took. So, I signed up for a free class that was offered by the Cox Arboretum, in Dayton, OH. The best part about it was that they gave us a free composting bin! When I moved in May, I set the bin up, in my back yard. Whatever I don’t feed to my worms, in terms of food waste, goes into the compost bin. So does all of my grass clippings and plant cuttings that aren’t infected with some disease or bacteria. In the fall, most of the leaves that I rake will go into there, as well. Hopefully, in the Spring or Summer, I will have my first load of compost!
