I decided to investigate composting in the Victoria area as part of our team’s umbrella term of local food security and sustainability. Reducing unnecessary waste in our landfills and improved crops (for those using composted soil) are two benefits of composting. I have an interest in reducing the amount of waste I produce and am considering gardening for the first time. Gardening was not at all a part of my childhood or adolescence, and previous to moving to the Victoria area I lived in an apartment building. This means I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to gardening, and even less when it comes to compost. However, I think that it is an important thing to learn as part of my own participation in the local food security and sustainability movement. As I know next to nothing about compost or gardening, I thought it would be an interesting adventure to share with others. I decided to start with just a good old-fashioned Google search. This led me to a whole bunch of organizations within the greater Victoria area that are heavily involved in compost at some level or another. The following entries in this blog will be a documentation of my attempts to get involved with composting and gardening.
