The History of Composting in America

There's a great piece by James Loewen found here: http://hnn.us/blog/153202 Loewen knows what he's talking about.  His article is inspiring me to keep working at teaching people to break the composting rules. Add all foods.  Cover with leaves.  Get the balance right.  Set and forget. I had no idea Squanto was the first written-about composter, did you?
