If you haven’t tried composting yet, fall is a great time to learn more about it, as fallen leaves (a great component of compost) are getting more plentiful. A large amount of space is not required; a composting bin can be as small as three feet wide. Materials to place inside include “browns” (brown leaves/grass, cardboard, newspaper) and “greens” (plant-based food scraps, green leaves/grass) in a 2:1 ratio.
