I was so happy to find out that Whole Foods on Prospect St. in Cambridge has a compost bin. This year I didn’t compost much at my CSA farm, but I really think it’s an effective way to reduce waste and promote local farming.
Read this article about Whole Foods’ composting in Cambridge.
Anyway, I’ve been collecting my scraps for a few days, and excited to go over there soon and “contribute” to the pile.
In general, I’m a huge fan of fresh, local food. In my journey through the blogosphere recently, my friend (and yogini) Zeenat turned me on to this blog called bostonlocalvores. Stay tuned for a blog post about evil MSG and all the things it is lurking in.
Namaste,

I know this is a late reply but i just started reading your blog. The city of Cambridge also offers home composting bins that are rodent resistant for $50. I am not sure if you can get them cheaper any where else Our place had one when we moved in and it is great to have all of that fresh dirt for planting in the spring on top of reducing waste!

Great suggestion! I used to compost in Somerville when I lived there – at my community garden. We have no green space now in Cambridge, so Whole Foods is where our scraps go. But the best is to do it at home and let your own scraps feed your new plants!
