If 10,000 LA Biters compost 3 lb of kitchen scraps each week, we'll keep the weight of over 10,000 sanitation workers worth of waste out of landfills every year.

The largest earthworm ever found was in South Africa and measured 22 ft from tip to tail.

The Rot Thing

The Bite

Wanna decompose your garbage without making a stink? Easy: Just check out a free, fast Home Composting Workshop in Griffith Park. In less time than you can do a power lunch, learn the basics of backyard composting, grass-cycling, and worm composting (totally yuck-free, BTW, so you'll still have appetite enough to hit Alcove Café and Bakery in Loz Feliz on the way home). Pros will show you what waste is yes, no, or so-so to compost. Rot now (ahem), we're mixin' our kitchen scraps with yard trimmings in the hopes of giving our rose bushes a boost.
