Ever had the experience of your in-laws or neighbors or your CSA handing you a big box of lemons from their tree, and you’re left wondering what the hell you’re going to do with all these lemons. You might love lemons (who doesn’t?) and want to take advantage of this bounty that’s fallen into your lap, but you don’t know where to start. You’ve never faced a pile of lemons this large before. You’re flummoxed.
Don’t do what most people end up doing and use a few here and there, letting the rest rot on the counter because you had no clue what to do. Instead, read on and find out how to preserve, store, and make the most of the lemons life gives you.

Composting creates nutrient-dense, well-fertilized soil.
Composting means “food waste” is no longer wasteful.
Composting is better for the environment.
Composting organic materials is more productive than simply throwing them away into a landfill.

If you just want less stuff in your trash can and in the landfill, composting does that.
