The Best Composter for Me
Well, I’ve finally done it! After several months of thinking about it, today I ordered the Worm Factory 360. When I started this search for a composter that would be small enough, simple enough and odor-free enough for my small townhouse, I would never have guessed I would end up with worm bins. But [...]

So I went straight to researching compost containers, so that I could buy one right away and get started. What I learned quickly by reading product [...]

Replace Trash Stickers with a Home Composter
As I am learning more about composting and looking for the technique that will suit my lifestyle best, I can’t help myself, but think of getting some of my family members on board to do the same. Several of them live in Quincy, IL where they purchase stickers that adhere to their trash bags. I think for [...]
