compost pail review

*Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Mighty Nest. Opinions, of course, are always 100% my own. There are three main components of composting - building your compost bin, collecting your compostable material, and maintaining your compost pile. Once you have your compost bin or pile set up, you'll need to start adding your material to it, but how do you get your food scraps and other compostable household items, from you house into the compost pile?

  This is Day 127 of the Green in 365 series! By Kim from The Soulicious Life I hate to waste, I love to garden, and yet I only started composting last spring.

I hope that all of you mamas had great days too.  And if you're feeling a little overwhelmed, or maybe less than the best as a mother, my hubs wrote this post for me yesterday over on Babble, I hope it will be an encouragement to you! One of my requests for Mother's Day was that we get started working on our garden, since that had been neglected as we dealt with family … [Read more...]

My Compost Pile!

August 18, 2011 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

I've been bugging my hubs to build me a compost bin or compost pile since we moved into our house two summers ago, and last month he finally made my wish come true!
