Melissa Meadows 7/16/2019 6:43 PMI tried that, but it doesn’t work on my phone for some reason. I have the icon, but it won’t go to my page. -
Kristen Bryant 7/15/2019 5:02 AMNo worries! I have struggled too! I ended up putting the webpage on my home screen of my phone, it helps to remind me to go in. Still not 100%

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Start CompostingDo an inventory of how much food waste you would save from going to the landfill if you start composting all of the time. What are the added benefits of having compost that is readily accessible?
Melissa Meadows 7/11/2019 12:51 PMWe eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, so we have a lot of peelings, stems, seeds, etc. We fill a quart jar with compost every day since we built our compost bin! We're excited to have compost to provide nutrients to our plants in sandy Florida soil. -
