    New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?

    We recently started composting and was surprised at how much food and was surprised at how much food we weren't throwing away.

    Our compost will be used in a raised bed to grow tomatoes.

      I've wanted to get better at composting. I am trying to shift my mindset from seeing it as a chore/extra thing to make sure I am taking care of to a better way to dispose of food scraps.
