My neighbor saw me haul 6 bags to the curb and asked why I don't just compost
Last Tuesday I was dragging six kitchen bags out to the curb in Tucson when my neighbor across the street walked over and asked why I wasn't composting any of it. She showed me her setup, just a $30 bin and a bucket in the kitchen, and said her trash dropped to two bags a week since March. What's the simplest thing that finally got you to start composting at home?

Ha, one thing to know before you copy her setup, a $30 bin alone won't get you to two bags a week in Tucson. That dry desert heat kills a pile fast, so you have to add water and keep it shaded or nothing breaks down. Start with a cheap bin and a bucket like she did, but plan on watering it, that's the part people skip and then they quit.
