Day 9: Give Composting a Try

We recently started using our compost a lot more. I was able to find our compost bin at the local Goodwill on half price day! Yay!

Composting was super intimidating at first. I didn't know what to put in there or how to properly start one. Luckily, YouTube has tons of videos available on that subject. I watched what seemed like a million and one videos before actually putting it to use. 

I throw in all our fruit scraps, paper, coffee grounds, and grass clipping. Since I don't have any trees, I started using the shredded paper from my office as the "browns". 

Here's a pic of my compost bin. 

We pick up the grass clippings and add those to the bin as well!
