Tia Pinney shows us how to create a quick and easy compost pile. Personally, I always like to add some worms to help the process along and their castings (fancy word for worm poop) are nutrient rich. Everything that goes into the pile doesn’t end up in the landfill – yea!

I have decided my compost is not composting fast enough. How do I know this? I have no idea, but I do. So my new friends (the worms) have been called to duty. Apparently, they will cut my composting time in half, as they munch their way through last week’s lawn clippings. Then – why do I read the Internet – they will poop fertilizing nectar of the gods. For those of us garden types – worm poop is called “castings” and are high in Nitrogen. Apparently, this is a good thing.
