Composting 101 and why I decided to do it!
I’ve had a family garden ever since I could remember. My Dad had a farm and growing up he planted a garden with his tractor every year. And every year we would tend to it.

I actually recently just sold my crock pot because I always forget to turn it on at the beginning of the day and then by the time I remember, there’s not enough time…
