As a rule, in my house, no biogically degradable substances are allowed to be thrown out. I had each twig and leaf trimmed off all the large branches and composted into the soil of my sideyard.
I mashed about in the back yard & woods, then decided to turn the big compost pile. Added stuff from to small bins. Inner core steaming! Wow!
I didn't turn my compost at all last winter and it froze. I'm gonna keep turning this winter to have garden compost early spring :)
Really something to see what looks like a pile of snow, is actually food & leaf waste breaking down to essential elements, high nutrient dirt.

Description: To prevent wet waste like kitchen waste and leftover food from being dumped into landfills where it releases harmful greenhouse gases, the Indian government in 2016 mandated segregation of waste. Under the Solid Waste Management Rules the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change also stressed the importance of composting of wet waste by residential colonies and businesses.
Many residential colonies in cities of India have since then started colony-wide composting of wet waste, creating compost for their gardens. This move not only prevents wet waste from entering landfills but also leads to creation of compost — full of healthy nutrients for plants.
In the video, a member of SWaCH — a cooperative of self-employed waste collectors in Pune can be seen mixing wet waste of an RWA with soil to create compost in the composting unit within the residential colony.
"Composting couldn't be easier with these bins placed around the office. No more smelling up my garbage can either!" - Tony N. (Austin office)
For Earth Month 2012, Green Mountain Energy employees are sharing photos of how they live green each and every day. Both at work and at home, we all try to reduce our daily environmental impact in various ways. Here's a glimpse into how our employees are living green - and tips on what you can do to reduce your impact, too!
You can compost!
1. Buy a bin studded with holes (check out Composters.com for options). Place it outside.
2. Fill bin 3/4 full with leaves or newspaper. Add enough water so it resembles a damp sponge.
3. Toss in scraps (avoid meat, dairy and oil). Stir. Top with a 3-inch layer of newspaper or leaves.
4. Cover with a new 3-inch top layer of newspaper or leaves each time you add scraps to bin.
5. Stir pile monthly, replacing top layer. After about six months, compost forms at bottom. Dump contents. Return scraps to bin and re-cover. Place compost at base of plants as fertilizer.
Marilyn first lay down cardboard (double layer) and then layered in straw, oats, manure, mulched leaves, soil and repeated 5x. Adding water to each layer. Try to use the browns and greens that are readily available in your area. Leaves, grass clippings, food scraps, branches, even plants that are beneficial such as comfry are great additions.
As the compost bin migrates about the garden, it leaves a shining trail of wonderful compost.
It took a little detour, because we have 3(!) volunteer Brussels Sprouts.

Hit the compost jackpot and was given 5 organic sheep fleece,just perfect for the compost.(I am determined to fill the giant bin with beautiful rich compost this year).Because we try to stick to organic methods we have to be careful not to use animal products that have been wormed or sprayed with chemicals ,lucky to have like minded horsey people and a shearer about.If you use sheep wool you must be careful to soak it in water and pull it apart so water can get through the layers.

compostables are nestled between two layers of netting. items break down over time and feed plants at base. I'm guessing that I could eventually put plants into the fence!
