Should I keep composting through winter?

Absolutely! If your compost pile or bin is active enough, it will continue processing your food scraps and garden debris. You'll need some balance foe all the food scraps, and the piles of sawdust you create when sawing wood for your wood stove are excellent for this purpose. Even when temperatures plummet, you'll still be reducing your contribution to the waste stream if you continue composting. Of course, if your compost area is way at the end of the 'south 40,' we won't blame you for spending more of your winter indoors. For more about composting, go to the source:
