Growing up living on a farm nothing hardly ever went to waste, our food scraps after harvesting were given to our animals. As second-generation farmers we soon understood composting is the answer to organic waste. Making Sustainability our priority we sourced more compostable materials, and decided to transition from conventional farming to regenerative agriculture. But the question was: what do people in the city who have a desire to be sustainable do with their food scraps?’ Environmental friendly people want the benefits of compost, and they usually opt to learn the process and use backyard turners. Unfortunately they soon find out educational programs on composting are just the beginning of the process, their backyard turners can’t handle food waste. The reason; Not enough carbon compostable material, they do however produce an abundance of nitrogen compostable material (food waste) and requires a lot more time commitment than what they can afford. There is no recipe or mold you can follow to compost food waste.

Composting is a science; it is a daily learning experience, compost piles have 1000's of living organisms that need attention daily.

We have been composting for 8 years and every pile is different. Daily temperatures along with humidity affect the active piles. The ability to add what’s needed to the active pile being more carbon or more nitrogen or introduce oxygen can not be accomplished properly or economically in backyard composting scenarios.
