To clean pretty much our whole bathroom we use baking soda and white vinegar. So much better! Less harsh on the environment and we're not breathing in harmful and yucky chemicals!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-87498687250341308452011-11-01T22:14:28.835-07:002011-11-01T22:14:28.835-07:00I thought I'd pass on a super easy way to comp...I thought I'd pass on a super easy way to compost in the desert without a bin. A woman from my church who is a super gardener has done this for years and it works great for me too in the not desert climate. On the side of my house tucked away in a corner, I dug a square hole about 2 feet x 2 feet x 1.5 feet deep. I put up a little wire border around the hole so the dog doesn't go looking for snacks but if you tucked it away someone you wouldn't necessarily have to. The hole is nice because you don't have an obvious pile of garbage in the yard!<br /><br />I threw back in a little of the dirt, some horse manure and some fruit and veggie peelings. The horse manure contains enzymes that really help the decomposition process get started. If there are any stables around, they are usually really happy to get rid of manure. <br /><br />Whenever I cook, I add my veggie and fruit waste and mix the new material into the compost by shoveling once or twice. When I notice that the pile looks dry, I water it with the hose. Every so often, I take the sharp tip of the shovel and hack away at chunks to speed up the decomposition. In the hot desert climate, the compost cooks down amazingly if you keep it moist. It doesn't smell either as long as you turn over the new material into the old material. It's important to start with enough starter dirt and manure that you aren't exposing a lot of veggies and fruit to the open air- if that's the case, you can get unpleasant bugs and smells. <br /><br />My husband and I added material for over a year before the hole filled up. It was super amazing-sometimes I'd fill up the hole with scraps and a couple days later, it would have settled and decomposed down substantially! After about a year, we let it rest for a couple of months, watering it and turning it once in a while and now we have beautiful black dirt. <br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Good luck!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725109598456255313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-91199396846315499932011-11-01T14:18:47.152-07:002011-11-01T14:18:47.152-07:00I would highly recommend a compost bin or pile.

We had one that sat in the back of our garden and got amazing soil for our growing plants. Plus, Glad makes compostable bags that you can use in a regular trash can and then throw the entire thing in the bin, so easy! I use them all the time since our apartment building gives us garbage, recycling and composting options. Got to love San Francisco. What a fun day you had!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16824095580277555310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-54472972758542128122011-11-01T13:42:23.261-07:002011-11-01T13:42:23.261-07:00What an awesome event!What an awesome event!lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05460354168915164352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-7317933365365772442011-11-01T12:39:09.410-07:002011-11-01T12:39:09.410-07:00really awesome! so glad it was educational and enj...really awesome! so glad it was educational and enjoyable!LO FI LOVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140413364862669895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-63544307001184798732011-11-01T12:00:04.549-07:002011-11-01T12:00:04.549-07:00i lalalaaavv you sisterrrri lalalaaavv you sisterrrrrichelle jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200939185801622024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-34116452486641481272011-11-01T11:37:49.190-07:002011-11-01T11:37:49.190-07:00how awesome!how awesome!Misha Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633146284432256750noreply@blogger.com
