RE: @polebird Vlog: 🌎Ideas for repurposing and recycling! There's only one earth, be proactive! 🌏

Yeah.... it's so hard. Amazon is so amazing and so convenient, and saves so much time... but their overpackaging of absolutely everything is hard to deal with. Even though we take cloth bags to the grocery store, I still feel like we produce way too much waste. I'm hoping to build a compost heap over the summer so at least my veggie scraps can be reused for us... and then build a garden so we can be a bit more self-sufficient.

Love the celebrity appearances!

Oo I was looking into compost heap for my garden but wasn’t sure if it would attract other critters or flies! And there are so many methods of composting to choose from. Let me know how it goes!

So in Melbourne I had a worm farm... which is a multi-leveled plastic box that you put the compost into the top, and take the good dirt out of the bottom. It was pretty cool, it didn't attract any flies but it did stink pretty bad. It was going well until we had a couple of 40 degree days (like 115) and my little guys cooked... so it definitely needs to be a super shady spot.

Big compost bins will attract flies and critters, so you really do want it as far from your house as possible.
