The real worth of your garbage

Welcome to a space where we will learn about the various methods of composting, both at home and outdoors.
Do we need a 'Did you know?' quote to learn about the potential for composting?
Don't peek at your dustbin, just observe what you throw during the day. Where are our dustbins located? Mostly in our kitchens. Right? So that is where most of the waste comes from :)
Vegetable and fruit shavings, left-over food (which by the way one should really cut-down on throwing), egg shells, tea bags etc.
And all of this can be composted. Plus, if you are lucky and have a garden, your garden litter too can be composted.
Please don't see it as a 'scientific' method, It is in fact pretty logical and a fun filled activity.
All you need is a method, air (which you'll never fall short of), segregated waste (we need only the organic waste, the rest can go into a recycling bin) and that is it! Nature will do the rest.
Are you tired and guilty of throwing away garbage from your home in that black plastic bag each day?
Well, I am shouting to you all- There is a way!
I will return with more information on a regular basis to make you comfortable with the idea.
The journey to become a 'good' responsible citizen begins from Today :)
I would also like to confess, that I am not an expert, only an enthusiast on this topic. So would love to learn from you, I invite you all to utilise this space and share what you know or would like to know on Composting.

One thing that you should know- I am a good researcher :) So seek information and I shall deliver.

P.S: Freedictionary.com defines garbage as: worthless, useless, or unwanted matter
We'l discover that its not completely true.
Meanwhile my own definition of compost: A brown and earthy smelling soil that is created through natural techniques from organic matter, used as a nourishing agent for plants.
(look at the pic below, just holding this home made compost in my bare hand was an amazing feeling)
