Here’s how it works:
1. I give you a bucket.
2. You fill it with your kitchen scraps.
3. A week later I pick it up with my bike and leave you a new, clean bucket.
4. I dump your organic waste into my backyard piles then let nature do its thing.
5. Once ready, I give you back the finished compost so that you can use it in your garden to grow yummy veggies.
We also have a drop-off plan where awesome people who live outside my pick-up range can swap out their full bucket for a clean one on my porch at their leisure.
What goes into the bucket? Well, everything that grows can. “If is grows, it goes!” Banana peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, apple cores, cherry pits? Yes! Half eaten bean burritos and PB and Js? Yep. Your Mum’s veggie lasagna that she forgot in the back of the fridge and is now furry? You betcha. Just no meat or bones or oils. My chickens will eat your bad dairy so please keep that separate.
The cost? $5 per month. Yep. That’s right. Just 5 bucks for weekly pick ups.

I was inspired by your compost business. Great job!
Thanks Tracey. Compost on!!
Hi Carter,
Would it be possible to purchase some worms from you (for indoor composting)?
Hmmm. Maybe. We have a bunch but are trying to expand for the winter. I’ll get back to you soon.
Thanks, Carter! I would just need a few for our own use – no competition

1lbs = ~500 worms. It’s hard for me to separate them (handpicking individuals) from their bins. These guys are having a sale though: http://www.composterconnection.com/site/red-worm.html

Good morning Carter and family! I hope your drive to New Mexico is going well-or maybe you are there already. I purchased your composting certificate from the Black and White Bash for Eastern a few weeks ago so I will get in touch with you when you get back to TC as to when we can begin. I do have my own compost bin, but often have more stuff to put in than room. I also want to write a short story about you for the Master Gardener newsletter that I help to put together, so we can talk about that too. Have a blast on your trip! Mrs. Denison (Nancy)
Hi Mrs. D, Awesome. I will get you a bucket when we get home in April or you can wait till whenever you think you’ll have a lot of scraps. A newsletter blurb would be fun! You can email me at carterscompost@gmail.com. Thanks and Adios from Tucson! Carter
