I do love my compost bin. It makes me happy to fill the bin with waste and not my kitchen trash. I used to feel so bad about throwing out food that the family had failed to eat but, having a compost takes the edge off that pain. I have found that when I plan my meals weekly (I keep a blank calendar on the fridge for menu schedules) I throw out that much less. Not only am I saving food waste, I am saving wallet waste.
I just came inside from turning that dark black warm goodness of compost. Boy do my flowers love it!
Isn't composting just great? I love the idea that nothing goes to waste and that I'm recycling nutrients. I live in an apartment and thought it wouldn't be possible to compost but ... it is. This year, for the first time, I didn't have to buy dirt for my planters (I grow a bunch of vegetables in containers on my patio). Yay! And like your flowers, my veggies are happy and doing amazingly well!
