A great video. Thank you.
I will try mixing my food scraps with leaves and let it sit in a covered bin. Thanks for the idea!
I am surprised that you add chicken bones and pizza crusts to your compost closet. Won't those scraps encourage mice and other vermin?
Thanks for a great video, Marion! You're such an inspiring teacher!!
