Composting at Home
Composting at home can save money on expenses at the home & garden store and reducing both trash bills. Composting is also great for the environment. In the U.S. residential garbage is made up of 25% to 50% food waste and yard waste. Composting also makes an excellent source of nutrients for plants, lawns and gardens.
Make it a family science project. The kids will love seeing the food scrapes transition to nutrient rich compost.
