Hi,

I am researching composting methods for possible implementation at the small Tennessee school where I teach (St. Andrew's-Sewanee.)

I am interested in hearing about your adventures in institutional composting - what has worked well and why, what has been problematic - what are you doing and how's it going?

Jim Ann
