Learn: Composting
By Grant Estrade

Intro:

Composting is the organized overseeing of the breaking down of organic waste. We compost to simply recycle, to save money, to extend the use of material, and so on. All I know is that the sending of organic waste, especially plant debris, to land fill is an extremely silly concept. For a homeowner to put forth the effort of watering, fertilizing, and mowing a lawn just to bag up the clippings to throw away is rather silly. I call grass clipping "the wasted crop". I realize that some municipalities seperate trash into compostobles, recycleabls, and trash, and deal with them accordingly, but hauling away and dealing with the green waste is still an expensive bill that is ultimately paid for by that municipal tax base. Our goal should be to recycle the greenwaste at the place of origin if possible, such as in the case of small amounts of wste created by a kitchen or garden. I beleive that the responsibility of one's waste is in the hands of the waste producer. but let's not spoil the fun of composting by focusing

Compost happens-end of story. Organic waste will break down no matter what you do, but the speed in which it breaks down, and the quality of your compost are in your control.
