Scugog Township has re- ceived its first shipment of back-yard composters, and they are availalble to the public for $30. Called the ""bardmatic," these back-yard composters are made here in Port Perry by Techstar Plastics. Essentially, it is a cone- shaped cylinder made from black plastic. Each comes with a com- plete set of installation and op- erating instructions. : Essentially, you just dig a hole in the ground four to six inches deep, set the wide end of the bardmatic in the hole, back- fill earth around the bottom, and fill from the top which has an air-tight lid. Fruits, vegetables, leaves, grass clippings, even meats and bones will decompose naturally. When you want to use some of the compost to spread on your garden, you simply dig around the bottom of the cone, lift it up, and take what you need.
