But, you definitely need a sunny place to allow the sun and heat to penetrate it. It's important to "turn it over" probably once a week or every couple of weeks. They say to add lime to it as well. I didn't know you could compost paper and paper towels; that is fascinating. I sure wish I could buy one of the special compost tumblers that Sam's Club has right now! They're neat looking. My compost pile hasn't been messed with in a long time; instead, it's been a garden home for catnip (which somehow seeded itself there a few years ago). And unfortunately, a neighbor's tree is right by it and has grown around it. It will be a mess trying to get to it and restart the compost process. I've always enjoyed the idea of composting; I'm a "green" kind of gal--way to go on giving it a try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314026322016110949.post-34412173316171692112010-04-21T17:59:42.531-07:002010-04-21T17:59:42.531-07:00You should look into red wiggler worms, they are g...You should look into red wiggler worms, they are great for composting. <br />I have seen Food Inc., that and reading some Michael Pollen books have really changed my diet the past couple of years, but I feel so much healthier now. It also helps to work at a natural grocery store.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590232957190563888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314026322016110949.post-61504550165114523022010-04-21T14:53:59.654-07:002010-04-21T14:53:59.654-07:00That's awesome Whitney!
