composting

Lucky for us, a couple started a small business in our area doing composting. They bring you a bucket, you fill it up and they pick it up a week later. They leave a cleaan bucket for you to fill for the next week. At the end of the month, they bring you a bag of compost soil. I love it! We haven't gotten our bag yet, but I feel so much better throwing food away that has spoiled. It is small enough to keep under the sink, and it doesn't smell bad. I just think it is such a fabulous idea, especially for people who want to be eco-conscious, but are lazy.
And fyi, strawberries liquify in a matter of days.

my parents always had a compost bucket in the kitchen when i was growing up. it used to be one of our chores to take the bucket out to the backyard and empty it into the compost pile next to the garden. it definitely makes for excellent soil! :)

Wow, what a great idea for a business. Is this a service you pay for?

it is a pay service, it is $10 a month which I think is very reasonable. Plus I'm supporting a local small business which I think is important. I sorta wish I had come up with the idea ;o)
