With the popularity of gardening and other DIY hobbies on the rise, we'll look into the science and practice of composting in N.H.: how does it work, and what do state regulations have to say about it?

For audio of this segment, listen to the audio here and start at 33:40.

GUEST:

  • Sam Evans-Brown - NHPR's environment reporter

LINKS:

  • N.H. has some of the most prohibitive regulations about compost in the region: "Compost has long been the domain of farmers and gardeners, not city-folk, but with both Vermont and Massachusetts pushing ahead with bans on throwing away food waste, curb-side pickup of compost is set to become more commonplace."
