Plastics In Compost: Where Is It Coming From?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAsi3JcRzNU Plastic in compost has gotten so overbearing to the point that it seems inevitable. However, there are tricks to minimizing the invasion. We need to be more alert as to what paper products we may add to our compost piles. Plastic liners are now often hidden in many single use paper products, such as ice cream cartons, coffee cups and take-out food containers. Sustainability is all about choice. Make the choice to reduce your single-use consumption, one item at a time. Composting is an activity where you are in control- you make the recipe, you reap the benefits. Choose wisely and your soil will prosper!

Composting Indoors In Teracotta Pots

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmd5dGU913A Here's an incredibly simple and effective system for composting indoors- I've seen the stacking pots system done once or twice in the past, but clearly not yielding good results. In this case, however, all the concerns of my previous video were considered and the results are fabulous. The pots have the capacity needed, the bottom of the top pot is designed like a vermicomposting fall-through system, and she has a curing pot as well. Well done! I hope this gains traction. While the challenges mentioned in my indoor composting video are present, with a little practice and guidance, anyone can make this happen.
