I’m sure there are many like me who want to compost because it seems a good choice for the environment, not so much because we want fresh compost.  I’m thrilled that there will be the benefit of having nutrient-rich compost for my garden, but that certainly isn’t my main goal. It hasn’t taken me long to discover just from reading, that composting doesn’t always go smoothly, particularly at the beginning.  I’m going to be looking for ways to make this as simple as possible and will be reporting everything I learn on this blog.

I plan to learn as much as I can about all types of home composting, but will likely start my research in a direction that seems to fit my current lifestyle.  I live in a small townhouse with a roommate who will be supportive and participate only if it is easy and doesn’t produce any inconveniences (that includes bad smells).  I do have a small garden and could keep a composter outside, but will first look into indoor compost containers. My preference would be something that I could keep either in my kitchen or on my lanai (screened-in porch for those up north).  I hope to compost food waste as well as clippings from my garden and even paper and cardboard if possible.
