We're hanging out with Sloan today! I am starting my compost today to help so I can get my sustainable garden planned for next year.

All you need is grass clipping, dead leaves and branches and you can create rich rich soil

Nice! My family has a large bucket in the backyard where we throw all our foods we can compost instead of throwing them in the garbage. My mom gardens so she uses the soil in the Summer.

I have a bunch of tupper in my basement so I'm going to drill holes in it and I hope that works.

Yeah my parents have that too, if you have a garden is a good idea to have one of those.

Awesome to hear that you are composting! I'm lucky that we have compost pick-up throughout my neighborhood (in Brooklyn, NY), but there's something so especially pure about contributing your own compost back into your own yard.

@peter just a heads up that NYC compost collection is on pause until June 2021. Really quite devastating -- if you have the room, I highly recommend freezing your food scraps in compostable bags so you can bring them to the farmer's market when compost pick up resumes there. They're two different orgs so I'm pretty sure the farmers market one will open up much sooner.

@andrewbrown high-five!! COMPOSTING RULES.
