Part 1: Lessons from my composting experiments

As with anything else, internet is like the space. There are less active and productive satellites then there is that debris of defunct junked satellites.

Composting is one of those subjects where there are many schools of thoughts and actually many different ways to achieve composting.

We also have traveled a distance in a journey of composting and this is a summarized knowledge (at the point of time) which may help.

Things we want to compost:
1. Kitchen scraps (vegetarian)
    - Raw kitchen waste - Peels and other  waste as a result of cleaning of fruits and veggies.
    - Cooked / post consumed waste - What we throw away into sink and use trash disposal.
2. Lawn cuttings and garden waste produced by periodic cleaning  exercise
3. The power packed Fall leaves

Two key methods of composting:
1. Active composting
    Active composting is where we use any kind of worms to help us convert trash to treasure.

2. Passive composting
    Passive composting is where we pile things up and turn them periodically.

One - For Kitchen scraps, of all kinds - Vermicomposting is recommended and most productive.
Second -For Lawn cuttings and periodic garden waste - Pile based composting on the ground or
in a compost bin which can be easily turned - may be good idea.
Third - For Fall leaves - a separate pile or compost bin is recommended.

Now a key question everyone comes across - so you want us to have three composters ?
Simple answer Yes. Though, let me explain a bit more and ensure that it need not be a lot of work.
