Composting
Sunnyside residents breathed a sigh of relief as a local organics trasher reformed his ways. So I have been throwing all my CSA scraps, coffee grounds, cracker crumbs and other organic materials straight into the trash all these long months and in my town and among my group of friends this is a definite no-no. I mean geez Meredith makes sure even a PDX traveler can send his half-eaten Wendy's burger into composting heaven. So I am sure tensions will ease now that I have my very own worm bin in my backyard. Meredith brought over some worms, I made a top for a planter that's in my backyard and I just buried my first bucket of organic material which includes a desiccated brussels sprout stalk, coffee grounds, potato and celeriac cut-offs from my soup last night and more. Hopefully the worms will like all of that and their new home and start creating some luscious compost. At least I've diverted some of my waste stream from the landfill, right?

You did it. I'm proud of you, man.
I kind of can't believe you just said your worms will be "creating some luscious compost". Luscious? You qualified "compost" with "luscious"? That's awesome.
