Looking for Gardeners who compost.....
I couldn't think of a better place to start my quest to find someone or someplace in The Villages that composts vegetable scraps & waste. When I lived in Ohio all my vegetable scraps from cooking went to my garden compost pile to break down and enrich the soil. Now that we live in a Courtyard Villa (mostly stone & concrete) I no longer have need for composted soil. But it just kills me to waste all the scraps that could be used by someone else. Does anyone know of a community gardening area or area farm that would be able to use such? I'd be more than willing to save my vegetable trimmings in a covered 5-gallon container and deliver it to 'dump' in any approved area.
Anyone have any ideas? (tonight I'm making braised leeks & kale and I have a bag full of waste that I'd save if I could just find someone willing to utilize) |

It is part good thing and bad thing to try to compost here. Critters, including rats are drawn to the the cast off veggies. |
It’d have to be someone who has a composter inside somewhere.

That's why I'm checking with our local cooking community in hopes someone knows of a farmer or someone who has a composting area ~ away from our zero lot line homes. I don't have a compost pile or barrel just for the reasons you mentioned. No way would I want to encourage critters to come to our yards to snack! It drives me nuts when some of our neighbors say they put out peanuts for the squirrels ~ they're RODENTS! Don't feed them!
But it would be wonderful to know there was someplace where the vegetable scraps could be composted to be used to amend the soil and grow a great vegetable garden. |
