Composting Made Easy
Even items that are usually sent to the trash can be put to one more use by the frugal mom. Moms Living Green shows us that it’s not difficult at all to create our own compost from kitchen scraps. Added bonus: it may reduce your garbage bill as well!
First of all, we bought a plastic bin with a carbon filter to keep on the kitchen counter. That way for a few days at a time, I can just collect the kitchen scaps as I’m cooking. All kitchen scraps except for meat, dairy, eggs or oil can go into the compost. Vegetable and fruit scaps, peels, rinds, coffee grounds, filters, tea bags, etc. can all be composted. Rachel Ray keeps a “garbage bowl” on her counter when cooking. I do the same thing, it’s just a “compost bowl” at our house.
