"What is composting?
Compost is a dark brown, earthy, crumbly material made of decomposed organic matter.
Benefits of Composted Material
When added to soil, compost improves soil porosity and water retention, and provides plants with essential nutrients.
Composting diverts organic materials from the waste stream and our landfills!
How does Material Decompose? Millions of microorganisms work to break down organic material. We can speed up composting by managing the process.
How do I start a compost pile?Start by picking a location. Look for an area that is:
- Well -drained and close to level
- In partial shade, to help with water retention
- At least 1 -foot away from walls, fences, bushes, trees etc.
- A convenient spot to place materials and to get the end product to its final locationWhat tools will I need?
These tools may help get you started:
- Compost bin
- Pitchfork (compost turner)
- Chipper/shredder
- Wheelbarrow (for transport)
- Garden hose
- 4’ X 12’ Sturdy coated wire mesh (to form cylinder to contain compost pile, if desired)"Learn more:

Food scraps may not be good for birds (though the local corvids would disagree with that), here are some recipes for humans that involve food scraps! (And I intend to try making banana bread using banana peels!)
19 Recipes That Use Food Scraps To Make the Most of Your Ingredients
March 26, 2024
"Our Best Ideas for Repurposing Food Scraps
It never feels good to throw food away. Whether you're tossing scraps from a batch of mashed potatoes or peels from bananas Foster, it’s always a win to stretch those pennies just a little bit further. It might come as a surprise to find all the ways that you can use odd bits of waste, from ingenious appetizers to creative sauces and sides. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite tricks for using various scraps headed to the compost bin so you can perform feats of culinary magic and save a buck, too. For example, many people toss the tough broccoli stems in favor of the dark green crowns, but the stems have a lot of flavor and a great texture if prepared right. Peel away the hardy exterior and include them in a creamy, cheesy potato gratin."

I'm almost done my masters so that means I will soon be able to publicly post all of the parts to my thesis on my website. Just because I'm thinking about going private industry for a few years, that doesn't mean my work on food waste and retail grocery supply chain efficiency is going to stop.

#LifecyclesProjectSociety #FruitTreeProject Update.
This year, we have harvested over 63,000 lbs of fruit! Of that, almost 32,000 lbs of Grade A fruit has been donated to the community, to over 70 community service agencies throughout the Greater Victoria Area. Our tree stewards have kept 4,500 lbs, and our amazing team of 191 Harvest Leads and Pickers have taken 13,000 lbs home.
What about the other 13,500 lbs you ask?
Made up of B-Grade, we have processed just over 7500 lbs into juice and jam. Some of the fruit is always C-Grade (compost). To date, we have composted just under 6000 lbs of fruit - while some of this has gone to our friends at Community Composting, the vast majority has gone to a local pig farmer.
We are proud to say no fruit has gone into the landfill!

Help us rescue surplus fruit, reduce food waste, and share fresh, local produce with community members who need it most.
In 2024, we harvested 30,757 lbs of fruit with the help of 151 volunteers!
Through the #FruitTreeProject - we harvest fruit that would otherwise go to waste—and ensure it reaches community members who need it most. By transforming how people engage with the Urban Orchard and with one another, we’re reimagining what a connected, resilient local food system can look like!
Your donation helps sustain this invaluable program, which has been operating since 1994 — a long-standing pillar of community care and food-sharing in the Greater Victoria Area.
Every contribution counts.
https://fruit-tree-project.raiselysite.com/Running the Fruit Tree Project costs approximately $145,000 per year. Your donations directly support:
Wages for staff who coordinate harvests and volunteers
Coordination for fruit redistribution
Vehicle and fuel expenses to reach trees across the region
Insurance to keep everyone safe
Cold storage to preserve fruit
Website administration and outreach tools to connect with the community
Every dollar helps us rescue more fruit, support more families, and strengthen Greater Victoria’s local food system!

Help us rescue surplus fruit, reduce food waste, and share fresh, local produce with community members who need it most.
In 2024, we harvested 30,757 lbs of fruit with the help of 151 volunteers!
Through the #FruitTreeProject - we harvest fruit that would otherwise go to waste—and ensure it reaches community members who need it most. By transforming how people engage with the Urban Orchard and with one another, we’re reimagining what a connected, resilient local food system can look like!
Your donation helps sustain this invaluable program, which has been operating since 1994 — a long-standing pillar of community care and food-sharing in the Greater Victoria Area.
Every contribution counts.
https://fruit-tree-project.raiselysite.com/Running the Fruit Tree Project costs approximately $145,000 per year. Your donations directly support:
Wages for staff who coordinate harvests and volunteers
Coordination for fruit redistribution
Vehicle and fuel expenses to reach trees across the region
Insurance to keep everyone safe
Cold storage to preserve fruit
Website administration and outreach tools to connect with the community
Every dollar helps us rescue more fruit, support more families, and strengthen Greater Victoria’s local food system!

Rain barrels and composters
#WestGreyOntario Municipality is now selling backyard composters! These are available for purchase at the Municipal office. The composters are $55, payable by cash, cheque or debit.
Backyard composting is a simple and effective way to manage food waste at home. Managing food and organic waste materials in a backyard unit is the most cost-effective method for organic waste materials and you get a great nutrient rich material to use on your lawn and in your garden.
As a rural community, West Grey residents have a close connection to nature and agriculture, and by leveraging our rural values we can make a positive impact on our waste management and preserve the finite capacity of our landfill sites.
Rain barrels
West Grey Municipality is now selling rain barrels and diverters! These are available for purchase at the Municipal office, and pickup at the Durham Waste Site during regular hours. The rain barrels are $63 and diverters are $40, payable by cash, cheque or debit. Limited stock available, first come first serve."

An example of municipal programs which offer discounted composters (Earth machines) and rainbarrels at a discounted rate. If your state or municipality doesn't offer them, they should. I believe the #EPA provides funding for the discounts.
#ErieCountyNY offers residents rain barrels and compost bins

Every household should have one of these. I've been composting most of my life -- growing up, we had a big pile (mixed with chicken manure), when I lived in the suburbs of Boston, we shared a wooden bin with neighbors, who also gardened. I've always had one since I've lived in Maine -- again, a wooden bin shared by the whole apartment building.
Of course, the bins eventually break down, so now, living out in the "country," I use #EarthMachine composters (I bought one through a Maine program, my neighbor gave me the other). A lid flew away in a storm, and I was able to get a replacement lid direct from Earth Machine.
Other than losing a lid, they have held up really well -- no cracks, and I've owned one for over 10 years and leave them out all winter. The design keeps critters out (that was a problem with the wooden bins). I turn the compost manually with a garden fork, so it gets nice and hot (and the dark color helps with that). They aren't cheap ($189 direct from the manufacturer), but sometimes municipal programs will offer them at a discounted rate (I think I paid $60 for mine).
"Now from ORBIS (formerly Norseman Environmental). The 80-gallon Earth Machine is a durable backyard #CompostBin designed to compost food and yard waste, effectively diverting it from #landfills. When residents are encouraged to divert organics from the waste stream and are educated about the benefits of composting, up to 50% of organic waste can be diverted from the waste stream. The Earth Machine is for food and yard waste only.
- 80-gallon, 300 liter capacity
- Easy snap-together assembly
- Twist locking lid
- Harvest door, for easy compost removal
- Vertical and horizontal ventilation
- User guide, harvest door, lid, and screws included
- BPA free
- UV stabilizer is added to resist deterioration from sunlight
- Made from recycled content#SolarPunkSunday #Landfills #Composting #ReduceFoodWaste #CompostFoodWaste #SoilIsLife
