Composting

Composting is a great way to recycle food waste.  Some reasons that composting is a good idea is that it reduces the food waste that enters our landfills while also helping enrich the soil.  Not all food is compostable but a lot of it is.  Think about if we all composted our leftover or rotting fruit and vegetables, that is a lot of waste that would be reused instead of just trashed.
I have been composting on and off since about 2011.  My older sister, who introduced me to the concept, has been doing it much longer than myself.  She has shown me how important our environment is and how we can all make a difference.  If you are a gardening nut, I really suggest looking into composting or even if you just care about the environment.  See if it’s for you. 

Now we have a double compost tumbler, which has made the process a lot easier than digging up the yard whenever we choose to compost.  It looks like this and I think it is a wonderful idea to use a tumbler for different types of home situations.

When I first started out I just used a shovel, dug up the yard, and did it the good old fashioned way which is shown below.
