Compost

Jill does your town/city have a community garden program? Call your city, a lot of places do that now. There's usually a small fee, but you can get that back by growing your own veggies! These places almost always have a compost area that you can use. I have helped several cities start community gardens and composting areas. Cities almost always have a part of town that is starting to get run down. A community garden is perfect for these places, brings all type together and at same time utilize vacant land. I find this exposure illuminates the needs of others.

It would be fun to start a community garden! I'm sure Asheville has several, though. I'll look into it. Someday soon, people are going to realize all the valuable resources we are pissing away when we put yard wastes and food scraps into the landfills.
