Living sustainably-Gardening

So I've become more focused on what I'm wanting to achieve in life. One thing I'm wanting to do? Learn to live more sustainably. To start this, I'm going to plant a garden. I've done some research and found out about the square foot garden concept. Look at this infographic (from the frugal dad)!

Another awesome site? The Gardeners Supply Company. They have a series of sample gardens, and you can design your own. They tell you when to start your seeds, how to harvest, all kinds of good stuff!
I think I'll go with the Cook's Choice Layout (smaller though)

One thing I think I'll also start doing? Composting. The disadvantage of cooking for one is that I use a little bit of several ingredients. What should I do with that half bell pepper, zucchini, and egg shells? Use them to help my awesome new garden!
This little composter can be found at the Home Depot for 20 bucks!

Now I'm just waiting for February to come so I can start some seeds!
