If I couldn't make it every day, I froze the stuff in old zip top bags. It was amazing how much less garbage I was making every week with this simple exercise. My garbage wasn't getting as stinky near the end of the week either. Best of all, everyone in the garden benefited from lots of great black gold in the end! SF is making a great decision here. I can't wait until more cities address the issue of "garbage" in such a progressive way. Love your blog! I'll be checking frequently now that I found you!

It's great for you gardeners, but a hassle for the rest of us. Another reason why I will never move to SF and hope everyday it falls into the ocean. Really stupid law.

We need to take a leaf (no pun intended) out of your book and do the same. I hope England introduces a law like this soon.

I wish Central Florida would do this as well! It is great to hear that the country is starting to realize that we should stop filling up the landfills and put this stuff to good use!

I couldn't agree more with it. I love to garden so, therefore, I love this site. It's got some of the best info on the web. I also came across this pretty cool article though. Thought I'd share in case anyone else found it interesting. /www.life123.com/home-garden/flower-guides/flowering-bulbs/plant-a-double-decker-bulb-garden-this-fall.shtml Cool post and cool law.

We're planning to start composting our own food scraps and stuff like that next spring and afterward here in Portland. Then add to the garden or landscaping as compost.
