Conscious Cuisine: Composting 101 with Miami Compost Project


Listen Later

Real talk—today’s episode won’t make you hungry. But it will make you think—about where your food comes from, and where it goes after you’ve eaten your fill. The eggshells, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable scraps… to us, it’s trash. But with the help of Mother Nature, you can turn your trash into compost treasure. You’ll reduce waste and have rich soil to grow your own food. Quinn Metoyer is the founder of Miami Compost Project. The organization teaches people how to grow their own food and waste less. In my conversation with Quinn, you’ll learn the benefits of composting, how to get started no matter where you live, and mistakes to avoid.
