I bought a compost bin and some red worms. In an attempt to reduce my garbage output, which often is organic matter I thought this would be a worthy purchase.
The delay in this purchase was mainly a lack of education. I thought composting would smell, and since I have a tendency to live in places with little or no access to outdoor space I was afraid that my residence would become unappealing to potential visitors. But now I don’t really care about potential visitors’ opinions and I want to reduce my garbage output (partly due to my participation in the Riot for Austerity 90% Emissions Reduction Project). I read a bunch of articles prior to my purchase, and here they are for your perusal:
I purchased the worms and bin from Clean Air Gardening. They have some informative videos that appear with some of their composting bins.
Article from NPR on worm composting.
How to make compost, a composting guide.
Philly info on composting (no classes available so far in the month of June).
