Composting



Realizing the need for an adequate means to dispose of organic waste which can not be recycled we will be composting everything we can. The goal of course is not to produce any "real" trash that we would have to transport to a landfill. I beleive the time for this practice of buring our "trash" has come to an end. If you could imagine your weekly garbage piled up for a year and then look at the size of your city and imagine that! Well don't stop there the whole country and the world is producing just as much.


Now having that image in your head consider this... The water you drink is nothing more than filtered ground water. Bad enough we have to put chemicals in our water to kill the bacteria from the sewage now some of the water is, once rain, has first filtered through this nasty mess. Bottoms up.

So in light of this though it may not seem like much we will be building a compost bin. Though purchasing one seems simplest it is also a waste of money. Do a little research first. I have found that at there most complicated they are just drums with holes drilled in them and a hinged door. There are simply to many ways to build them to list here but it really is easier and more ecofriendly to build it yourself.
