It's International Compost Awareness Week from May 2-8.

Let's deepen the discussion on the "future as now” of composting…

I’m thinking of the future as 5–10 years from now. It's close enough that we could get to work right now.  

With so many avid gardeners and composters trying to build communities where healthy soil is connected to our food, our daily lives, composting is also helping us connect to each other.

I asked my audience to share their ideas for the future role of composting. Here’s what they came up with:

I'd love to include voices/words/visions from many other people - want to join in?

I'll only use the text in the paragraph box, so put your name as you'd like it to be used in Blue Borage Social Media, Emails, Website content as 'voice of the people' statements. You are welcome to leave it anonymous, or perhaps just an initial.

Some of mine are:

"Compost is how we make top quality soil. It was always more than merely managing waste."

"Compost is turned to soil SO close to both its source and its final destinatio:  it's an integral part of our lives and it's neat to see how people take their food scraps from every meal straight to the worm farms located inside the garden."
