How to Make Great Compost (With Very Little Effort)

How to Make Great Compost (With Very Little Effort)

If your garbage can is like the average American’s, at least 20% of it is filled with food. Worse, that 20% is entirely preventable. Here's a secret: it's insanely easy to make great compost while ALSO diverting food waste from the landfill. Here's how.


You’ve heard the buzz around composting, but you want to be certain composting is right for you *before* you embark on another potentially time-sucking hobby.

Of course you’d love to know how to make great compost, but you’re a newbie + you need guidance.

If your garbage can is like the average American’s, at least 20% of it is filled with food. Worse, that 20% is entirely preventable.

My guest this week is Heather Kauffman. Heather is passionate about composting + claims the practice is *just as easy* as recycling. She argues, too, that a slow-but steady composting approach makes a gigantic difference when seeking to divert food waste from landfills.

On today’s show Heather outlines her step-by-step composting system; she answers your most pressing composting questions, too.
