Composting?

Yeah, I started composting...

I had to overcome the 25 years of fear of dirt and all things "dirty" put into me to do it, but I finally did it.

After finding an appropriate bin and filling it with potting soil (organic of course) I add my used coffee grounds, egg shells, fruit skins and peelings, and other things like that. A few times a week I "turn" the soil to move around, breaking up random clumps and preventing bugs to find a home. I also add some water to keep the soil moist but not make mud in a bucket.

And its turning out great.

Next up, growing my own herbs.
