I do mulching and composting because I have stuff growing and here are the basics——
-— Just about all food waste is 90% water so you might as well get rid of it via your kitchen disposal unit. It will melt down to nothing in any composting effort
-—What is worth composting is fibrous and tough stuff like corn cobs and corn husks. Like artichoke leaves. Not too much food waste is like this
—— Just about all your kitchen waste would be a lot better “recycled” if you had pig and chickens eating it and putting on weight than “composting” it to put on a garden. You are wasting your time composting watery stuff
-—— The best bio mass for mulching and composting is chipped tree trimmings. If you make the effort you can get it for free
—— No I don’t believe in global warming. I am a greenie with some common sense
You seem knowledgeable, so I’ll ask you a question. Doesn’t some food waste have salt in it? Isn’t salt bad for the compost?
“I am a greenie with some common sense”
It sounds more like you fall in the category of having a “green thumb”. I envy your skills and talents.
