Urban Sustainable Living is published by Patti Moreno the Garden Girl. She started gardening in 1998, as a way to not only eat healthier, but also to lose the weight that she had gained during her recent pregnancy. Her frequent shopping trips to the gardening supply aisles of a local home improvement warehouse earned her the nickname Garden Girl from one of the stores sales associates. After much trial and error, Patti was able to transform the backyard of her Boston home into an in-town garden that now produces almost all of the food her family eats. Her farmette has become a focal point within her inner-city community, a place where she shares her knowledge and passion for a concept she calls Urban Sustainable Living with hundreds of her neighbors, young and old alike. Patti's success serves to encourage both city-dwellers and suburbanites to take full advantage of their decks, patios, balconies, rooftops, even indoor bookshelves and turn them into sustainable gardens

She is actually incorrect on how long this will take to create usable compost. Usually it will take 9 months to a year to achieve usable compost (soil) that can be spread throughout the garden. Likewise, she probably needs to add some lime to that pile in order to get the heat needed to jump start decomposition. Adding a little soil from the garden into that compost will help as well. The drawback to this type of compost pile is that it is difficult to turn it. If you are able to turn the compost over on itself, then there is no reason you cannot put food scraps or other biodegradable waste into the compost pile. She seems to be somewhat uninformed about this.

Most organic matter is great for composting. Coffee grinds, vegetable peel, bacon grease all good stuff. Not sure where this lady dreams up some of this stuff she posts. She appears to be more of a self promoter that a gardener.
