1. Wear Green
If a three-piece green suit isn’t your style,
consider showing your love of composting with one of our "I heart Compost" bumper
magnets. Available at our upcoming compost seminars or by
emailing me.
2. Store your “Gold” in a “Pot”
Using the right compost bin will keep your materials
organized, keep the pile moist, and help the compost heat up.
3. Even Your Compost Likes Beer
Although unlikely to jump up and dance a jig, your
compost heap could use your leftover and stale beer to speed up decomposition. The Irish even call Guinness “black stuff.” Coincidence? I think not.
I like to imagine that at end of my rainbow there is a
beautiful finished pile of compost, freshly screened, just waiting to be used in
my garden.
Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day and don’t forget to
compost your shamrocks when it’s over. J
stale beer? leftover beer? how does that happen :)

DeleteNever waste a Guinness.
ReplyDeleteThis could be our new campaign.
DeleteIf you can use beer, does wine also work in the compost pile?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely you can add wine, it's a fantastic source of nitrogen! http://confessionsofacomposter.blogspot.com/2013/12/composting-for-wine-lovers-or-haters.html
DeleteWe compost our grains from brewing beer at home...the pile loves it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great thing to add to the pile!
