A Compost Compendium - Part 1

摘要

Well, the holidays are now history and, for many of us, the big question is how many days of snow and ice lie between now and the start of spring. Seems like a perfect time, in my opinion, to think about composting. I consider it regularly since I am in charge of the waste organics in my household, which includes lugging the kitchen food waste bucket to our outdoor composting bin even when there's three feet of snow on the ground. Since the last time I covered this topic was December 2007 (Compost Guides) I thought I would do another survey of composting online resources, especially those that focus on small-scale methods. The ones discussed this month are those that provide a good introduction to either the process, or the overall value economic and environmental value of composting.
