The Seed Volume 34, Compost Growing Community

 

   In recent month’s we at Giving Tree Gardens have witnessed and helped facilitate an environmentally sound change in the way a few Minneapolis organizations view the waste they create.  Almost every group or organization of folks has the potential to  begin producing compost for use in urban farms as well as home and community gardens.  Wherever people gather, they eat, and wherever people eat, they produce food scraps.    While some organizations can put their food scraps to use on-site in their own compost bins, others turn their compostables over to local urban farms that are actively seeking food scrap donations for mass compost production. 

   This month’s volume of The Seed is dedicated to giving organizations on the verge of change a how-to guide for dealing with their food waste in an environmentally wise way.   Read below for a list of green resources for employees and volunteers looking to guide their organization toward a healthier tomorrow, as well as step-by-step guide to building a low-budget, community enhancing compost bin.
