Ever wonder were all of that garbage goes?  Ever wonder if there was a way to help reduce landfill and garbage waste.  How about a compost pile?

Compost is a combination of decomposed plants and animal materials and other organic materials that are being decomposed largely through aerobic decomposition into a rich black soil.

A great way to save money is by composting your yard trimmings and food scraps.  This compost pile can help you create rich soil conditions for your flowers and veritable gardens.  By composting you can help reduces things like fertilizers, pesticides that are unwanted in our soils while also reducing water consumption.

 A great idea for a composting bin is one that is made of recycled plastic milk jugs.
