Composting is becoming more popular with all the concern about the environment and garbage build up.  If you are a gardener it is your homemade compost for your garden - Nature's way of recycling.

Things to include in your compost:

- Green - scraps from your kitchen, trimmings from your garden, fruit & vegetable scraps, grass clippings, etc.  These items are full of Nitrogen for your garden.

- Brown - Leaves, newsprint, cardboard, straw, corn stalks & cobs.  These items are rich in Carbon.

Things you do NOT want to use:

- Fish, Meat, and Bones - they produce bad odor and attract rodents

- BBQ coal & ash - they contain sulphur oxides & other chemicals

- Cooked Foods - this will also attract rodents and other pests

- Kitty Litter - this contains disease causing organisms and contains chemicals
