[Community_garden] Composting at school

[Liesel Carlsson]

Hi all,
I am working with a school that has a small food garden with an on
site compost bin. The school is renewing their efforts to sort their waste,
and would like to start dumping classroom and cafeteria scraps into the
compost bin, for later use in the garden, of course.

Separating waste in the classroom is challenging enough without having to
create two separate compost bins: one with meat and other smelly stuff that
attracts rodents, and one with less stinky stuff.

I would like to draw on the wisdom of those of you engaged in gardening at
schools. Can we dump all the compostables in our bin, turkey sandwhich
scraps and all?

Thanks kindly,
Liesel
