Not everyone composts their kitchen and yard waste, but every one should. Composting is the right choice for the environment, but there are other benefits as well. For one, it produces "black gold" - that is, rich compost that can be used on everything from houseplants to vegetable gardens to flowers and trees. This compost will make your garden healthier and more productive, your zucchini will literally go wild and rhubarb, pumpkins and most every other plant will benefit from a little as well.
One of the excuses people often give not to compost is that they do not have the space available. This, however, is very unlikely, especially given the huge variety of small back porch compost tumbler bins and similar composting models available that are built specifically for small spaces. These units are very affordable, but even if you don't have the money to purchase a small back porch compost tumbler for your home or apartment, there are ways to build a small compost bin for yourself for very little money. There is simply no reason to avoid composting your kitchen waste, so if you don't compost - start!
