Green Daily giveaway: Composter winner announced!

A big congratulations goes to Carolyn Haffner who won over $300 worth of composting equipment from our recent giveaway. Out of 189 eligible entries, it was lucky number 81 that received a shipment of goods from Gardener's Supply Company. When asked to write what she would be composting, Carolyn wrote:

"Everything I can! I stopped because my scraps were attracting rats!'

Hopefully her new Triple-Chambered Earthmaker Composter will keep her kitchen scraps in and the rodents out. If you are having trouble with unwelcome visitors to your compost pile, try these tips:

  • Do not put greasy foods, dairy products, meat scraps nor bones in your compost pile. All of these attract unwanted critters.
  • Bury the bottom lip of the screen beneath the soil and fasten the lid tightly.
  • Use a rodent screen beneath your composter to prevent burrowing in and out of the unit.
  • Bury scraps in the center of the pile.
This giveaway was part of June's Green Challenge to begin a compost pile. Check back frequently to catch our other giveaways and be sure to join this month's Green Challenge to conserve water.
