So we've been trying to be good little Ithacans and have a compost heap in our backyard, even though we live downtown and have very little "garden" area. I've been worried for awhile that we weren't getting the mix quite right and have been procrastinating the job of turning the heap and trying to get it right. Well...I finally got up some courage, took the big cover off the heap and dug in. I was so pleased to find that our garbage had turned back into EARTH! I got several buckets like this one out of the heap, and restarted the pile. We had stopped adding kitchen scraps for most of the summer but I think we are good to go again.
Yay for being green!
