Composting
Practice what you preach, that’s what they say…
So this week we made a compost bin in the backyard to start demonstrating how kitchen scraps, cut grass, dry leaves and coffee grounds (which we have tons of!) can turn in to nutrient-rich soil! A common practice for gardeners in the US, composting is rarely done in Liberia. It all begins with education, learning what can be composted and what cannot!

Your entry made me think of this blog entry I read a while back on Afrigaget's site:

And this other post on Keyhole Gardens on afrigaget's site:

cheers.
Thanks Joy! I'd love to read anything else you find on the subject of agriculture in Africa! Keep sending the great links! Thanks!
