This advice certainly has merit, at least as far as a regular compost bin goes (i.e. one you add your kitchen waste to, and eventually empty for the garden). After all, these materials can contain various pathogens, and aren’t exactly all that enjoyable to work with. I should mention that the term “pet waste” is actually far too broad to 2008-05-07 13:54:07 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.compostguy.com/composting/pet-waste-composting/ 29 53 http://www.redwormcomposting.com/reader-questions/odour-removal-via-vermicomposting/ http://www.redwormcomposting.com/reader-questions/odour-removal-via-vermicomposting/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:19:44 -0700 Odour Removal Via Vermicomposting A few days ago I received an e-mail from an RWC reader, Eve, who wanted to share her interesting experience with setting up a new worm bin. I asked if it was ok to share her email here since I knew others might find it really interesting as well. Hi Bentley, I am starting up a worm bin and have had the most amazing thing happen. I followed your instructions for the deluxe worm bin. Adding bedding became a challenge.

Composting is the first project I started last month. I rarely use my garbage disposal now, as vegetable and fruit scraps are added to the composter I bought at cost through Metro Public Works. The compost isn’t “cooking” yet, but I spotted my first earthworms in it when I added some food stuffs yesterday. Dryer lint and dog hair can be added to the compost 2008-04-02 17:51:06 PDT http://technorati.com/search/planettrash.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/great-american-clean-up/ 20 87 http://www.compostguy.com/winter-composting/winter-composting-wrap-up-2008/ http://www.compostguy.com/winter-composting/winter-composting-wrap-up-2008/ Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:25:25 -0700 Old Man Winter: 2 | Compost Guy: 0 Well, it has been almost a month and a half since my last winter composting update, and I’m sure some of you must be wondering what on earth happened. Unfortunately this year’s extravaganza was once again derailed in February - although it certainly wasn’t as decisive a victory for Old Man Winter this year. The timing wasn’t great - I ended up getting really busy with other things, and then was away for two weeks.

I hate to say it, but given the fact that he was requesting a link exchange without having contacted me before, I suspected I wasn’t going to be all that impressed with his site (I’ve become skeptical in my old age - haha). I was definitely wrong, and I’m really glad I took the time to check out the site!
