Composting is for Everyone

We recently got off our lazy streak and began saving our kitchen scraps and garden debris for a compost pile. It doesn’t really take much time or energy and it makes a huge difference in the amount of garbage that leaves the house.  I used to think that the landfills needed my compostable material so that it could help break down other garbage but I did learn that biodegradable and compostable materials don’t typically breakdown or they take far too long to do so. The reason is because there is a lack of oxygen when the garbage is packed so tightly to make the most of the room at the dump or landfill.

Composting does not have to be difficult and you don’t need anything fancy to do it. You can leave your scraps in a pile and add dry lawn debris on to the top. You don’t even have to turn it. It will take much longer for the pile to turn to compost but it will eventually, probably within the year. So if you aren’t in a hurry for soil but you want to cut down on your garbage waste just start a compost pile. No big deal right?

If you aren’t into the look of a pile and just can’t seem to get over it then read about this inexpensive and homemade composter.
