What compostable thing wouldn't I compost! But seriously, there are little things like strawberry stems and garlic peelings that usually do not warrant the effort to walk over to the compost bin, I pledge to compost more of those. The bigs things, they are already getting composted.

Table scraps (cant give them to the dog or she'll get fat!) and Coffee Grounds for sure!

Plus the other 3 condo's in my building would be encouraged to use it too...

Then we could use the wonderful compost to transform our yard!

I spend a lot of time cooking especially veggies from our garden. So I compost any waste leftover from that. I would love to have something professional to compost in!
