Garden Composting

In the Fall, we cut down all the perennials and compost the refuse. Each weekend the goal is to fill our six compost bins. If our personal energy and the weather cooperates, we will also fill paper refuse bags. Our township composts these materials, and we get a weekly pick up.

    I've started something new. We love eating yogurt, and have tried many kinds but really like Noosa. However Noosa is pretty expensive so I bought a yogurt maker and have been making my own for a few weeks. The machine paid for itself in just a matter of weeks plus I am using my own containers and not adding more plastic to the recycling bin. I add a scoop of jam, and no additional sugar so think I am eating a little bit better too.
