Pittsburgh Dirt Sucks. Here’s How To Compost Your Own
A few weeks ago, someone told the City Cast Pittsburgh team we should absolutely feel guilty if we don’t compost, and we take a personal challenge pretty seriously. Today we’re with Meg Graham of May Apple Gardening to talk about ways to get started, the biggest mistakes and misconceptions, a few handy tools, and her favorite recipe to get perfectly“cooked” compost every time.
Not ready to DIY? Our own Francesca Dabecco shared a bunch of local composting services you can try without getting your pitchfork dirty. Make sure you’re subscribed to our Hey Pittsburgh newsletter for the best of the Burgh every day!
