There are many different ways to get things accomplished. Just as our lives, weather, soil, etc.are extremely different, it is good to see what works for others. It does not make it right and it does not make it wrong.
I can not have a compost pile. So in the ground right away or all "green" is sealed till it's ready. The important thing is that we are adding back to the earth rather than just taking. All perishable food can not be used, we are not perfect. But think if every compostable item made it to a compost pile. I sometimes think what if coffee grinds never made it into the trash. Every business and person found a way to return them to the ground.How fertile would our land be! Many blessings to all and may we leave the earth better for others!
