While home composting has been with us for a while, many people still don’t know there’s a correct recipe to create effective compost.
Will Affleck of Just Good Compost gives us the ingredients.
Along with the right materials, a working compost bin must have oxygen which requires turning the mass with a garden fork every few weeks. Without this, the material won’t compost, but instead rots and creates methane.
As Kelley Scott of Just Good Compost tells us, disposing of organic materials in a traditional landfill just compounds our air quality problems.
Methane is a greenhouse gas that affects climate 80 times more than carbon dioxide and worldwide, landfill methane emissions rival the toxins from the entire transportation industry.
