finally
I finally started doing my composting. Not sure if I am doing it right but we made a start. First was some twigs to give it some good ventilation (?) and then I layered with some real compost to act as an accelerator, then some kitchen scraps and then some grass trimmings. THe bin’s outside, out in the sun though. Not sure if that’s good or bad. I am making sure that it remains kind of moist but not soggy. So far, I’ve seen lots of ants! No smell though. So I think that’s good. For now we just keep putting our kitchen scraps there. I am really glad that we’re not putting a lot of garbage in the trash now. We feel that we are significantly reducing the amount of carbon footprint that we leave on the planet. I wish to be able to give my yet-to-be-conceived kid(s) the same earth we’re enjoying today. Maybe even better.
