I guess I've been composting all my life! When I was growing up we had no trash pick-up. We burned what we could, some went to the dump, and all our food scraps and yard waste was thrown into the corn field behind our house.

Now that I'm grown up, we usually throw the food scraps and yard waste into a pile. It's just a hodge-podge that rots eventually. Birds and small creatures pick out the seeds and other "goodies". We often get our share of volunteer tomato and squash plants growing around the edges. Our kids always adopt these plants.
