Our partners at District 10 Como Community Council and Ramsey County Environmental Services are promoting composting of all kinds – food waste, yard waste, and other compostables. Both have graciously provided us with helpful links for folks wanting to set up backyard composting. We’ve also added a link to a great video created by Capitol Region Watershed District on making a simple backyard leaf composter out of chicken wire.
