If I had to name one secret to a thriving garden, it would be compost. Composting is the simplest kind of magic—turning what was once waste into something that nourishes everything that follows. Whether you have a big pile behind the barn or a small bin by your back door, composting is one of the most satisfying habits you can build.
I actually have both! A 3-part bin system that we built a few years ago, and a Mill Food Recycler that has quickly become a favorite addition to our home.
I created this Guide to Composting for you if you are thinking of getting started, too!
