        <title>In search of compost - Noticing the Northwest - dweaver3&apos;s Blog - The Bakersfield Voice</title>

        <description>When I had access to a garden, composting was a must. I love the idea of turning seemingly insignificant scraps of broccoli stalks, bread crust, and potato peels into a nutrient rich substance that benefits a vegetable or flower garden. 

Now that I&amp;rsquo;m living in an apartment, my garden space has been reduced to three widow boxes and two pots of herbs &amp;mdash; and no space for composting. Vermicomposting could be an option, but I&amp;rsquo;m a bit wary of starting such a complex project.

Are there any gardeners out there who have some vermicomposting tips or would accept food scraps into their compost bin?</description>

                <description>I can&#039;t wait till I move into my new house. My mom always gardened, with compost and everything, when we were growing up. There is nothing like fresh organic, grown in your back-yard sugar snap peas! I plan on having a big garden, if I can keep the puppy out of it.</description>

                <description>I completely agree with you about fresh peas. When I was a toddler, my mom would often find me in the garden helping myself to the peas.&amp;nbsp; What could be better? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe a perfectly-ripe, warm tomato with just a touch of salt!</description>
