James Joiner 10/16/2017 4:02 PMBuy Food and Water Only - Not as hard as I thought....so far I am on track and can consider this challenge a success.
Compost Food Waste - Seeing as how I do not compost today, I had some learning to do but I have read up on Composting using an indoor container for the kitchen and have decided on the container I want. Exaco's Kitchen Compost Container is on order from Amazon and will be put to use just as soon as it arrives. -
James Joiner 10/10/2017 9:28 AMThe biggest challenge for me will be the purchasing of only food and water during the challenge. But I am up for it and my wallet is going to be so excited! I have always wanted to do composting so this is a great opportunity to get started. And I love working outdoors in my yard and it's time for fresh mulch anyway before the winterarrives so this will be an easy and fun challenge for me!
