DeColores Community Garden
![Community Garden: Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land, community gardens are run by volunteers who cultivate vegetables or flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Generally open to all participants, they are sometimes fenced, locked or threatened by development. May offer hands-on learning and a habitat for birds and insects.

![Composting Site: Place where food waste, leaves, garden and lawn cuttings are biodegraded into rich new soil. Can include large-scale or demonstration projects, drop-off sites, or places to buy locally produced compost, or to get information, worms and resources for indoor and garden composting.

Overview
Members of DeColores Community Garden have been composting for eight years in our garden. We have been using a commercial plastic composting bin that is inadequate to our needs. It is simply too small to accommodate the waste materials generated in our garden. We would like to expand our composting abilities and be able to accept compost materials from our neighbors. We would also like to be able to take in kitchen scraps; we have not done this in the past because of rodent problems.
