    I would love to compost - it's something I am sure I will start eventually...being in an apartment, I feel it's kind of hard to do...plus I don't have any outside space or even plants, but that's also no excuse! I will figure it out eventually!

    We just started composting for our garden. I'm still working on making it a habit, but we're getting there!

    I just purchased my chicken wire and lumber and will be building my very own compost bin. I can't wait. Thanks for the advice and the excellent video.
