Obsessive Composting Disorder

In preparation of building a vegetable garden in the Spring, we had started collecting kitchen scraps for composting but didn’t have a good place to put them. A couple of weeks ago, we built this out of some old chain-link fence left behind by the previous owners.

Now I feel like I have to save every little thing that might possibly be compostable. Did you know you can compost your dryer lint? When I eat a banana on the way to work, I feel bad for throwing away the peel. I guess I could walk around with a banana peel in my pocket all day but I’m not quite that crazy, yet.

I also recently heard that they are starting a community garden close to our house, which is cool, but I think our efforts will be tied up in our own garden this year.
