MEET THE EXPERT

Kim Pezza grew up among orchards, muck land, dairy and beef farms, having lived most of her life in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. She has raised pigs, poultry and game birds, rabbits and goats, and is experienced in growing herbs and vegetables. In her spare time, Kim teaches workshops in a variety of areas, from art to making herb butter, oils and vinegars. She continues to learn new techniques and skills and now spends time between her grandparents mid-1800s farm in New York and in Southwest Florida, the first and oldest cattle area in America and origin of the American cowboy.

IN CLOSING

C omposting is something that anyone can do, no matter where they live. Not only does it alleviate stress on our landfills, composting also provides us the nutrients needed to rejuvenate our soil, which can easily become exhausted when overused. Whether your garden consists of vegetables, fruits or even just a few flowers, the soil underneath will welcome a jolt of energy from the nutrient rich black gold that all gardeners prize.

Once you have completed your first compost cycle, you will almost certainly be hooked; if you havent done so already, youll soon have your second pile started, counting down the days until your next soil harvest (or worm harvest, for vermiculturists).

While some individuals, towns and cities still need a bit of educationnot only in regards to the benefits of compost, but the process as wellthe ability to compost is worth fighting for. This is an opportunity for those of us who can appreciate the value of compost to shine, taking advantage of these teachable moments to show off the benefits and correct the misconceptions surrounding this beneficial resource.

So start saving that food garbage, and if your friends and family arent composting (and you just cant get them interested), get their scraps as well. But beware: once they see what you end up with, you just might lose out on those extra scraps. You may even have visitors showing up, bearing bags to fill with your rich soil. Go ahead and share; you know where to get more!

Whether you decide to use bins, barrels, heaps or an indoor kitchen compost bucket, composting means youre doing everyone a favor: yourself, the earth, the landfills, and most of all your plants. And once your compost is finally ready...

Enjoy!
