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!
We’re also on Twitter @citycastpgh & Instagram @CityCastPgh!
