Composting

Got into composting a couple of months ago when I came across a video of someone describing how the food waste we generate can be turned into soil, if not diverted to landfills. I got curious and started experimenting with it. After some experiments with aerobic and anaerobic composting methods and a failed attempt, was successful in turning food scraps into soil.

It was a lot of fun observing how interconnected and circular things are, and it made me realize ( even though in quite a literal sense in this case ), nothing ever really is waste, if you can find ways to transform it :)
