Composting Made Easy

Yep...I'm trying to keep on the greener side of things! Since we now have a little garden of our own, we have decided to start composting. I mean why buy compost at Southern States for six bucks a bag, when you can make your own compost with food scraps...right!? Not only will it save us a few bucks on compost, but it will save on us having to take out the trash before it's even full because of smelly food rotting in the bag, in turn saving on the cost of trash bags, and provide us with nutrient rich soil for our own garden. Check out more on how to start your very own compost bin @

      @Debbie You don't need to try and turn it now. You can, however, continue to add materials, but cover the top with a tarp, etc. If your compost is away from the house and you don't want to trudge thru snow, you can gather your composting materials and freeze them during the winter, then just add it in the early spring when it's starting the thaw. Your worms will go deep during the cold and be back to the feast when it warms up.
