Composting is such a wonderful way to keep volume out of the landfill and enhance your garden. We have a worm composting bin that we made inexpensively from stackable plastic containers, and all of our kitchen vegetable waste goes in there. Harvesting the castings is a bit tricky, but the worms create the most beautiful, rich soil amendment, and the "tea" that seeps to the bottom level is truly great fertilizer. And, the "red wriggler" worms we have are so cute! Great topic, Amanda! Composting is such a wonderful way to keep volume out of the landfill and enhance your garden.
