You can compost to reduce your food waste, have a place to put yard scraps, or create super nutritious soil for your garden. Starting a compost pile can feel overwhelming. Elaina shares tips for getting started including the set-up of your pile and what materials you can & can't put it it! She talks about different types of bins for different needs. For example, anyone who lives in a city can purchase a worm compost kit which requires little space but is a great option for reducing food waste! She also answers some frequently asked "Can I compost questions" starting at 4:19 in the video.
About Us: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our mid 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
Something that differentiates us from other channels is our transparency on the cost of our projects - there is usually a breakdown right in the description!
We upload a YouTube video every Saturday night at 7pm EST, and post daily on Instagram and Facebook @masondixonacres!
