That’s the amount of food scraps that I have collected, as of today’s additions to the compost pile! 

Thanksgiving was just a couple of days ago here in Canada and as I chopped up the scraps I imagined the delicious Thanksgiving dinners that were enjoyed.  I saw lots of Brussel sprout and potato peelings, squash, carrots,  green beans, cauliflower and more.  Unfortunately I didn’t think to grab the apple peels and cores for for my photo op, until they were already in the compost pile!  I imagine they must have been the scraps from a homemade apple pie (right?), and they would have made a perfect “kg”. Oh well!😂

To some this number won’t seem like much, but I’m pretty darn proud.  I’m doing this myself with a limited budget and limited space, and it’s working!

I am looking for others in Kelowna that are interested in seeing my compost set up and are interested in occasionally lending a hand (or more than occasionally if they’d like!). If this is you, I’d love to connect!
