COMPOSTING
One of my favorite environmental stewardship practices is Composting. I consider the miracle of composting to be the original recycling. Nature does amazing things with organic materials.
To help you with your composting, whether you are a beginner or expert, I have posted some great resources. Also a quick search on the internet will give you lots of resources. Enjoy!

Click here for a link to the kind of bin that I use. These images show a bin that I built for friends that is made from new materials. My own bin is made from scrap lumber making it a bit more of a sustainable-recycled material design.
Here is a link to my compost bin shown in our back yard. I get about 30 gallons (average garbage can) of compost per month by turning the pile and sifting out the finished compost. Link to my compost bin design.
