Bootstrap Usable Compost Rocks

Bootstrap Compost read about my post and gave me my usable compost the very next day after I replied. Because it was so late in the season, I didn't have any vegetables to use it on so I'm saving it for next season. I'll be looking to install a green roof by then.

One thing that I like is their customer service. And even if I forget my compost bin outside on Monday, they will make an extra effort to get your compost so you're not left with a full compost bin for another week longer.

Result of my Renew Boston Energy Audit

The folks at Next Step Living came to my place to perform an energy audit through the Renew Boston program. This is completely free since we actually pay for this through our utilities like NStar or National Grid.

The audit was thorough, they answered all my questions. They took over an hour to examine for air leaks, water heater, a/c and appliances.
