Composting

The City Council passed a bill on Thursday requiring New Yorkers to separate their food waste from regular trash, with mandatory composting coming to all five boroughs by next year.

The residential mandate will roll out borough by borough, starting with Brooklyn and Queens this October, followed by the Bronx and Staten Island in March 2024, and Manhattan that October.

The goal is to reduce the amount of organic waste the city sends to landfills, where it produces a particularly potent greenhouse gas called methane.****

Just stumbled upon this documentary trailer, and I find it highly inspiring. I've been thinking about asking my municipality how they/we could stimulate composting at home, but an approach as I understand from this short trailer would be so much cooler.

There's more info in the link below. Apparently the full documentary premiered last week or the week before, I'm going to try to find it. If somebody has found it, please share!

Who is farming worms? What method do you use? What bedding? What do you feed them?

Tell me everything.

Let's make this the place to share all our questions, ideas and results of any type of composting we can think of. Whether you've been composting for decades or just forgot to empty the green bin and doing bokashi by accident, let us know how and why you do things the way you do. Share your stories and your photos. Your designs, or designs you found online or perhaps in some cool old book you stumbled upon. Anything goes.

To kick off and introduce ourselves, why not drop a short messages on what your favourite composting methods are?
