Composting is an environmentally friendly way to create healthy soil. But how do you start one and why should you? Melanie Burns, Waste Management Specialist with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) says composting is a diversion of food waste from landfills and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “The overall benefit of a compost pile is that it is a soil amendment because it improves the soil health which in turn can lead to healthier plants,” says Burns. “Other benefits include saving money, reducing the need to be buying fertilizer, and saving water as composting actually holds in that moisture in the soil.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once upon a time, in a green meadow dotted with wildflowers, there was a cozy earthen hollow that went deep into the ground. This is where a family of groundhogs lived. Every morning they climbed out of their hollow and ate handfuls of yellow dandelions and red clover. But it was not enough food for little groundhog because he was always hungry. So the family scurried to Farmer John's compost pile to look for good food to eat. We recommend this story for ages 3 - 7About the AuthorChinyelu Kunz, is the founder of We Nurture Collective.

Right now, many of us are getting our garden beds ready for the gardening season or if you're in a warmer climate, your beds may need a refresh before moving on to your next round of planting. In either case, you know I'm going to recommend the use of compost. Not only is compost great at adding nutrients and increasing the soil organic matter, but it's also a great way to feed the microbiota in the soil that make those nutrients available to your plants and it can act as a fabulous mulch for keeping weeds out. I've had a compost pile ever since I started my first garden 18-plus years ago. I haven't always been super successful with getting the piles to actually compost because, at first, I was just tossing stuff into the pile and letting it sit and do its thing without giving it any thought or effort. Yes, eventually that stuff would break down into something useable but once I paid just a little bit of attention to what I was doing with it, a little effort went a long way toward making the process more efficient and much more beneficial to my garden. On today's episode I'm going to walk you through the bare minimum of what you need to make a successful compost pile and then the little extra things that can catapult your efforts into compost stardom. We'll talk the ingredients, ratios, air, moisture, and dos and don'ts of composting. Let's dig in!

Why does my compost pile smell so bad? It shouldn't -- and it can be fixed.

In this episode, Mike discusses whether you should use your compost piles now, or wait until the spring. We're joined by special guest Holly Shimizu, former Executive Director of the U.S. Botanic Garden, to talk about the relationship between people and plants. And, as always, Mike takes your phone calls.

Have you ever wondered about the relationship between faith and science? What does Evolutionary Theory say about the Bible's reliability? How about history? What's the relationship between modern history and the Bible? Is the Bible only valuable to the degree it's historically accurate? Is it possible we moderns think differently about history than the ancients? And what about doubt? Are we safe to assume that people of faith have no questions? What's the place of doubt in the life of faith? Some would say that when faith and science collide, faith gets the last word. Others hold that when biology and the Bible disagree, biology holds the trump card. And still, others say that faith and science are speaking seemingly separate languages, that their role is complementary, not antagonistic. What are we to do with the implied tension between faith and science? Prevailing wisdom suggests we've got to do something because the number one reason students, in particular, are leaving the faith is the debate over human origins. At Narrate, we're having a conversation called I've Got Questions. We want to jump headfirst into this conversation and see what ancient and contemporary thinkers are saying about the supposed conflict between faith and science. We want to have the kind of faith that isn't afraid of the big questions and at the same time the kind of life that isn't afraid of the work that comes with asking them.

Listen to a few broadcasts of Deconstructing Dinner, and choosing food may suddenly become an intimidating adventure. It is of the utmost importance that we also bring our listeners examples of alternatives to the industrial food system that is spiraling out of the control of Canadians. Enter the co-operative model of operating a business. Long an example in Canada of how people can assume control over our needs and resources, co-operatives as an alternative to the industrial food system will be the focus of this series. This is an exciting series, as we ourselves at Kootenay Co-op Radio are a co-operative too. How does a co-operative differ from a traditional business? Most importantly, a co-operative is owned and democratically controlled by the people who use the services or by those working within the co-op. A co-op is operated for the benefit of members and members have a say in decisions affecting the co-op. In the case of food, such a premise directly challenges many of the pressing issues Deconstructing Dinner explores on a weekly basis. On this Part II of the series, we look at how co-operatives can provide an alternative to agricultural land ownership and how farmers can receive a fair price by working together to market their product. Guests Rob Diether and Lorraine LeBourdais - Horse Lake Community Farm Co-operative (100-Mile House, BC) - An innovative plan to protect a unique piece of farmland in British Columbia is providing a model of how a community can take ownership of the land that feeds them, and guarantee access to locally grown food. Working with The Land Conservancy (TLC), a co-operative has been formed to purchase and preserve a 133-acre farm at the east end of Horse Lake. Joining the Co-op provides many benefits. These include community involvement in the farm's operation with preferred access to the farm's organic produce, educational and cultural activities and special programs and events on the property. Cathleen and Brewster Kneen - The Ram's Horn (Ottawa, ON) - In October 2006, Deconstructing Dinner recorded Cathleen and Brewster speak at the Bridging Borders Towards Food Security Conference held in Vancouver, BC. Their workshop told the story of the Northumberland Lamb Marketing Co-operative in Truro, Nova Scotia, which recently marked its 25th anniversary. Their workshop explored the factors that made Northumberlamb a voluntary supply management system, setting prices, controlling quality, negotiating delivery times and volumes with farmers, and supplying the major supermarkets in the province with local lamb year round. Cathleen and Brewster publish The Ram's Horn - a monthly journal of food systems analysis. Audio Clips Grassroots Groceries - Produced and hosted by Wajid Jenkins for Sprouts - a weekly news magazine of the Pacifica Foundation. Wajid hosts The Compost Pile at WORT Madison, Wisconsin. Grassroots Groceries looks at the past, present and future prospects for grassroots groceries in Madison, Wisconsin. With a globalized food system that favors centralized, large-volume brokers, small-scale grocers face huge obstacles. One of the original food cooperatives in the United States, the Mifflin Street Community Cooperative in Madison, Wisconsin was forced to close its doors on Friday December 8, 2006. Established in January 1969, Mifflin Coop played a pivotal role in the progressive movement for food justice in the Midwest and beyond. With roots in the radical politics of the movement against the Vietnam War, Mifflin has remained true to its original values and mission. It is a collectively managed, member-owned small-scale grocery. Mifflin was central in the formation and support of other cooperative businesses in the Midwest, loaning money, inspiring discussion and forging new paths. It struggled with debt, changing neighborhood demographics and runaway globalization of the food system. Now, after 38 years, it has closed it's doors, leaving a small but obvious hole in the local food scene in Madison.
