My take on composting
I do composting on a big scale - in autumn, I collect curbside leaves, grind them up and mix them with coffee grounds and let them cook for six months to make great compost and mulch. I also participate in Madison's "black bin" curbside compost recycling for weeds and foodstuff we can't compost like Brussels sprout stalks, and things the chickens shouldn't eat.
BUT I think there is a place in our garden for one of the smallish black composters on sale for winter composting and what chickens can't eat (potato skins, moldy food) that take longer than my leaf/coffee ground bins. I'm wondering if this would eliminate our need for the black bin...
... but what would I do with those Brussels sprout and kale stalks?
