    It's April already? I'm off to a slow start but here I am. I'll try to do better. That's what this is all about anyway, right?

    I started composting about 7 years ago, but not consistently. I'm ready to get back in the habit!

      We compost everything that the chickens won't or can't eat. But they look forward to their "treats" of veggie trimmings daily!
