The lovely Karen at The Rubbish Diet has asked me to talk about compost.
I can just see your eyes glazing over now.
Wait! Don't hit delete.
Composting is easy. If I can do it then the barrier to entry is obviously not very high ;-)
1. We have this little caddy that sits on our kitchen counter. All of our non-cooked and non-meat kitchen waste goes into this little caddy. I even put in paper towels, tissues, children's art, the fluff from the dryer filter, hair that is stuck around the brush, the dirt inside the Dyson...
2. Every couple of days I empty it in our compost bin (which was subsidised by the county council). We try to have a good mix of "green" and "brown" waste. It's winter now, so the bin is full. In the summer it goes down very quickly.
3. In a few months .... depending on the weather ... out comes compost which I use in the garden for my veggies.
I've been doing this for nearly three years now and I've seen it all (including rats!) If you have any Qs, leave them below and I'll try to answer...
