Composting Takeaway Week One: Feasibility = Success
Whatever green action you choose to take on, make sure it's simple enough for you to incorporate into your everyday life.

Until I found a composting alternative that worked for me, I had been hesitant to enter the wonderful world of composting. The thought of worms, digging and buckets overwhelmed me – and are all reasons why it took me two years to get started. Finding a drop off location and freezing my scraps turned out to be the solution to my composting conundrum, and now that I'm one week deep in frozen veggie scraps, I'm a composting believer.

I compost using worms, it is so much easier than outdoor composting and it really is easy. After I got used to doing it I invested in a nesting layer system and I have the most wonderful soil that I use for plants and starting seeds. Works great. Make sure you use Eisenia Fetida (Red Wigglers) and not earthworms. Earthworms won't stay in place.
