Step by Step Guide to Composting with Worms
Community Composting
Community composting is a composting project that is larger than backyard composting but smaller than centralized, large-scale composting. A community composting site, for example, might receive and compost food scraps in a community or neighborhood. It is cheaper and quicker to design and launch than large-scale composting facilities, empowers and strengthens communities, enhances local soils and local food production, and provides useful skills and job training.
