If aliens landed on Earth and opened my compost pail, they’d think humans subsisted primarily on coffee and garlic. Do you compost? We just started a year ago, with a giant bin outside, and a little bamboo pail (with charcoal filtered lid!) in the kitchen for scraps. I’ve been interested in composting for a long time-- I just love the idea that you can turn garbage into something useful!
We haven’t started with vermi yet, but I’ve heard it can really speed up decomposition.
For a while, we were using old yogurt containers to collect scraps, but I got sick of looking at them on the counter and bought this, which is made by RSVP:
It’s about $40 on Amazon and at stores like Sur La Table. My one complaint is that the removable inner pail is plastic, and absorbs food odors. I wish they’d used stainless steel!
I compost a little more than the average household. If you are interested in Vermicompost this is a very helpful link. http://www.ecoyardfarming.com/relevant-links/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I only compost if there’s a tractor involved, however I wanted to share this link: http://www.groworganic.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which is Peaceful Valley farm supply in CA. Great people, easy to deal with and I’ve been a customer since 2000. No disclaimer.
