Comments on: Student-run organization starts composting program at NAU http://jackcentral.com/news/2009/02/student-run-organization-starts-composting-program-at-nau/ Your online northern Arizona (and Flagstaff) news source Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:57:32 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Ian http://jackcentral.com/news/2009/02/student-run-organization-starts-composting-program-at-nau/comment-page-1/#comment-4633 Ian Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:43:34 +0000 http://jackcentral.com/?p=3295#comment-4633 Just a couple clarifications: At this point we are only composting from DuBois, not the Hot Spot. Student volunteers are walking the large bins from kitchen to garden, and doing this from Hot Spot to SBS West would be quite a trek. Also to Jim: At this point we are only composting raw vegetable waste. Nothing cooked, nothing greasy, no meat, no bones. Just fruits and vegetables. If the university starts a larger program again with an industrial-size composter, we can do that stuff too perhaps. But for this small-scale project, we are being picky to avoid pests and "slurry."

Especially on what methods will be used for cooked foods, inluding bones and meats. I have tried composting everyday kitchen waste and am not keen nor look forward to the annual clean-up of slurry created. I'll visit occasionally and see if there are any further developments.... Well done to everyone concerned. I look forward to see what happens with this project and how it pans out.
