Frankly amazed by how much my household garbage has reduced since I started composting. I feel a little guilty that I didn’t start this years ago—big impact for relatively little effort.

@Minholkin Same here. Now I want less pay for my trash pickup.. wishful thinking..
I had that thought, too—I’m so glad I have a small family trash pickup in lieu of the big business that kept pushing the price up years ago.
Composting will do that, as will chickens. Our chickens get all kitchen waste. When I told that to my Mom years ago, she asked with some alarm, “then what will you do for compost in your garden?!” I replied that I compost the chicken litter and use that, so I basically run the kitchen scraps through the chickens first, before composting. 😆😂🤣
@Minholkin @Myrth @MrsE0113 I want chickens too! Cautionary tale: the first time my Uncle bought two dozen chicks to start raising chickens for eggs they ALL turned out to be roosters! 😂
LOL!
Pro tip: if you do not fancy raising your own meat, do NOT buy “straight run” which is supposed to be “as hatched” and about 50/50 male female on average, but instead tends to be more male because of the next option. You want to buy “pullets” which are females. They pay someone to peek at their newly hatched chicks’ vents (Chicken private parts) to figure out which are female. Their accuracy on that is usually in the high 90*s%.
@Myrth Thank you! This is great info for we newbies! 🐣🐤🐥
@Sheree
