Default So you think you compost big time? Check this out...

Hello
This is for all you avid composters out there. I compost lots (from
neighbours, my own kitchen waste and several local restaurants) but I found
a magnificent effort being done in San Francisco, USA. I can't provide the
site but I can give you something to do a search on the WWW. Do a search for
Jepson Prairie Organics. Their site will give you plenty of links to check
out. Should you not be able to find the site, post a message in this thread
and I will find out what it is. I was so excited about this, that I just
wanted to pass the information on to you all.
As an intro:
A quote from the San Francisco Examiner, written by Jo
Stanley/Staff Writer, dated Sept 2/04:
"Every day, four or five 18-wheelers (a very large lorry) head north
from San Francisco carrying a precious but unusual cargo: 300 tons of food
scraps headed for a giant composting plant in...."
I am excited about the participation level and, more importantly, the
results! Composting does seem to work...really, really well! And the plants
and worms love it.
