What is composting?

Do you hate throwing away your food scraps? Wish there was a way to turn them into something useful or beneficial, rather than just tossing them into the trash? If so, composting might be for you. Composting is the process of breaking down organic matter by natural processes such as bacterial action and fungi, and it helps to reduce waste in landfills. It can also be used as a fertilizer for plants, so not only does it assist with reducing waste and saving money on fertilizer, but it helps your plants grow!

Composting bins are inexpensive and easy to use, making this method of waste disposal very accessible. Unless you have issues with rodents or pests (in which case you’ll need to take precautions), you can keep composting outside your home. There are many different ways to do this—you can make an enclosure using sheets of corrugated fiberglass (the kind usually used in sheds) or mesh wire fencing if there are no trees nearby that could potentially harbor unwanted animals; alternatively, if there are trees close by but they aren’t well suited for climbing (meaning they’re too smooth or their branches don’t reach anywhere significant), a simple wooden box will work just fine. If your composter is inside, it’s best to keep the area ventilated so that no foul odors will spread to other areas of the house.

The main ingredient for successful composting is high-carbon materials—what’s referred to as browns because their color is typically brownish-blackish—that break down slowly over time and help maintain an ideal environment for bacteria growth. These items include dry leaves from fall cleanups (which can be raked directly into the compost pile), straw/hay from straw bale gardening or weaved hay baskets, wood chips from chipped log debris on landscaping sites, sawdust from carpentry projects—basically any material that has been dried out first before being added in will work just fine.

Why compost?

Composting is one of the easiest ways to go green, as well as save money and support your garden’s health. Food waste accounts for a quarter of landfill space, and over half of it can be composted instead. Composting is also great for reducing greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change—and it works for any sized home or garden!

Labeled by many as the “ultimate recycling effort”, composting isn’t just good for the environment; it’s also good for you. Studies have shown a direct correlation between high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and poor human health, along with increased risk of climate-related natural disasters such as drought, flooding, wildfires and more.

Label all food waste (not just vegetable matter) with a compost label: This includes things like egg shells, coffee grinds, fruit rinds/peels left on produce when you’re done eating them (try peeling them first so they’re easier to toss in). Label bags with these words so you’ll remember what goes inside: “Compostable” orange peels, eggshells from hardboiled eggs (don’t label these if they’re still soft), apple cores—even bread crusts!

How to compost.

Decomposition is a natural process that happens all around us, but most people don’t consider what it looks like when that food waste you toss in the garbage ends up in a landfill. The process of decomposing food waste into compost takes time, but there are lots of ways to speed it up—like by adding more nitrogen and oxygen with dry leaves and grass clippings. Those brown layers at the bottom of your bin are actually full of rich nutrients, which is something you can use to enrich your soil.

On top of being good for your plants, composting will make you feel better about buying those plastic garbage bags, especially since they’re mostly made from petroleum products. But composting is only part of the answer; recycling is another thing you can do to cut down on waste. For example: plastic bags can be recycled into plastic lumber for decks or benches!

How composting saves you money.

You might be thinking, “But I need to buy a garbage bag,” or maybe you’re like me and feel guilty about throwing away perfectly good food. No worries though, I’ve got a solution: composting! What you’ve heard of composting is probably just the same old “go to your backyard and dump all your rotting food in a pile” story. Well, that’s fine if you want to make money off of your compost, but in this case, it’s free!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

If you live in a city, chances are you pay for trash collection. That’s a lot of waste! According to the EPA, Americans generated about 250 million tons of trash in 2014.

What if we could change that? What if every time you had to buy garbage bags and bottles of shampoo, instead you could reduce your use of those things by simply reusing what you already have?

Labeled as one of the most earth-friendly cities in Canada, Vancouver has taken steps towards being more sustainable with initiatives such as recycling and composting. Composting is an environmentally friendly way to deal with food waste and other biodegradable materials. By changing your habits or lifestyle (in this case avoiding over-buying plastic garbage bags) it is possible to minimize the amount of waste which goes into landfills and helps our environment be cleaner.

Composting is easy! Below I will outline some simple ways that can help you save money on products while helping the environment at the same time!

The more we reduce our waste, the more space there will be in landfills and the less plastic will contribute to ocean pollution.
