Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
It's just crazy how much compostable food gets thrown into the trash. If you don't have a green bin program where you live, or were interested in the ease of composting, you've got to check out this ridiculously informative guide over at Grist.
They have a bunch of informative links from where to get supplies to videos about the wormy goodness of vermicomposting. Heck, if you're really adventurous, you could even look into composting toilets, where your fecal matter gets broken down and then you bury it in the yard. But don't let steps like that scare you -- the composting basics are as easy as pie, and a lot less fecally intimidating.
Just imagine the nice, organic results you can get for your herb or vegetable garden!

Most kitchen scraps are high in fixed nitrogen, and need a lot of carbonaceous material to keep it from getting smelly. Shredded news paper and chopped up cardboard, and old dried leaves do well.
Secondly, keep it aerated. If compost goes anaerobic, it will smell horrible, and the nitrogenous content will turn into ammonia.
