ON MAY 7: FLASH FICTION CHALLENGE

Nourishment in my kitchen

For years I had a compost bin. It was out in my garden and it was big. I didn’t know much about composting, so I did not know I had to turn it often. When I had my house on the market the garden and the compost bin got dismantled.  

I bought a new compost bin for outside. I also bought one that goes on my counter. Every few days I push the spout and a liquid comes out. I mix this with water and use it to nourish my houseplants. I love watching all things from nature grow.
