Well, it's that time of year when we get out and work on our lawns and gardens. I am always amazed by those who comment on, and even sometimes seem to covet, our compost, yet do not create their own.
Composting is easy. You do not have to be very elaborate with your set up, nor very adherent to the "rules" of composting. Your results will vary, but really only the speed of the decomposition will vary. Eventually all of the organic matter will "compost".
As you may know, even apartment dwellers can compost in a container. This composting relies on worms and requires a bit more discipline regarding the rules, but is effective.
The two big benefits of composting are the fertile "black gold" you get to spread on your garden or use in your planting pots, and the environmental savings generated by the decrease in your solid waste disposal.
There are plenty of websites on composting you can explore. Here's one to start with:
