My husband and I have been composting since we started our garden (four years ago). A lot of people don't compost due to the smell or the effort of walking compostable items out to the bin. I wanted to share how we go about composting, which is one of the best things you can do to ensure great, home grown produce. Soil is the host for many living organisms that your plants rely on to grow nutritious produce. To avoid "compost stink" we keep a large coffee can with the lid under our kitchen sink and take the whole can out when full. We have ZERO stink in our home and the cans are easy to rinse out. Make sure to keep your compost bin in the sun for best results.Follow this link for a list of compostable (and non-compostable) items. https://www.greenthumbcompost.com/compostableitems You might be surprised by the long list! Doing this you also save garbage stink and overuse of a disposal. I also wanted to share this link that further explains how compost works. http://www.howtocompost.org/info/info_composting.asp Happy composting to ya!!!
