interior designer asked:


I want to start composting, or at least try it out see if it is something that I can get the other members of my household to participate with. I spoke to someone at a garden center and was recommended a plastic composting bin for $90. Can composting be done, at a very small scale, in a regular plastic container while we try it out to see if composting is for us? Any other advice for a beginner is also welcome. Thanks!

As our landfills are quickly filling…we need to address the problem of landspace for waste disposal. A very high percentage of our trash is composed of materials that are biodegradable. I’m proposing a community composting plan similar to trash pick-up and recycling pick-up. The nutrient-rich soil created from the compost could be sold to farmers for fertilizer, and the profits could be used to put back into the program to lower the costs of running it. Do you think this would be a good idea?
How would I go about getting this started on a government level?

I was wondering, since the microbes that break down compost the fastest are aerobic, would adding hydrogen peroxide speed up the process?
