Eco Living and Home Composting

Have you ever opened your vegetable drawer to pull out the celery and come away with a handful of decomposing green glop?nbsp; Before you reach for the trash can, why not recycle that rotting mess into nutrient rich compost?nbsp; Home composting is an important part of eco living and a great way to feed your garden.  While you can set up a simple pile in the yard and let nature take its course, there are some other options for home composting.  To create rich compost quickly:

• Keep a small, special compost container in your kitchen so it is easy to save scraps.

• Use a compost bin that is designed to break down waste into rich, usable compost within weeks.

• Consider using a compost pile booster to help good bacteria multiply more quickly and heat up your compost pile.

• Freezing and thawing your compost scraps before you place them in the pile can also help to accelerate the break down.
