THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, MAy 26, 2023 ~ The SAVE Living Column ~ Page 15 Why should I recycle my food scraps and compost? Composting adds nutrients, moisture and carbon to the soil and helps plants grow. Compost reduces waste requiring disposal and reduces greenhouse gas emission. Composting recycles nutrients and organic matter for plants. Composting saves money in avoided disposal costs and reduced purchases of soil amendments. It’s empowering, fascinating and fun to make your own “Black Gold,” and it can be made in as little as 2 months. You can buy ready-made compost bins or make your own out of wood pallets, cinder blocks or wire fencing. A compost bin should be at least 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet deep. Make sure that air can get in and around your bin, including the bottom. Most of the work is done with the help of microorganisms like bacteria, beetles, earthworms and centipedes that break down your scraps and waste. You need a mix of browns and greens.
