Composting.

I have posted before about my compost piles but I haven’t really said much about composting itself.

Personally I compost pretty much any and everything that will break down. Even many of the things that are not reccomend to be composted.

For meats and other things they say not to compost, I dig a hole a little deeper than needed to make sure they are at least 6″ or more below the surface. After I dump it in it is covered and then the rest of the compost pile is placed over the top of it.

I figure the the worms and bacteria will take care of it. By the time I’ll dig in that area again, it will be long gone. I should point out meats and other things they say to not compost can carry bacteria that could sicken you and or attract critters you wouldn’t want digging through your compost pile.

To be clear I’m not reccomending you do the same and if you do just be aware there are risks involved that may not work out so well for you. So research into it and know what you’re up against before even trying it.

As for normal composting I whole heartedly suggest you read up on it if you haven’t composted before and give it a go.

By composting you’ll not only eventually end up with great soil for growing plants in but you’ll also be keeping a valuable resource from going into the landfill and drawing worms and other beneficial critters. Though if things are going properly there will be critters you do not want.

Below are two links, one to composting and the last that explains the things that are good as well as bad and how to correct things. There are a lot of good videos out there as well as things things to read about composting.

Best of luck and may your ventures be met with sucess.
