We'll be starting a backyard compost over the May long weekend and the City of Calgary makes it an easy thing to do.

You'll need a compost bin, which you can build or buy from a variety of sources. I'm going to use the "Green Machine" which is provided by Clean Calgary for a subsidized. It can be picked up at their EcoStore location for $25.00 or ordered from the City of Calgary's website for $35.83 including shipping to your door.

The City of Calgary has a website with great tips for first-time composters like me.
