What do you do with compost if you don’t have a garden?


I’m sure you’ve all heard the joys of composting and how great it is for the environment. I’m looking to try it myself, but I don’t really have much of a garden…What would I do with the compost? Could I perhaps sell it?

Some of the larger garden centers can take it and use it for compost / fertilizer recycling.

    I suppose if you advertised locally you may find buyers, but if you have a lawn, you could maybe use some of it yourself to improve you own yard. Neighbors may be interested in using some of your left over pile. Good luck.

    you could sell it but try filling up some pots with it or use when repotting your house plants.

    Use it on flowers if you have a flower garden, or to make hanging baskets.

    You’re supposed to put the finished compost in water for a day or so & make a thick liquid called "compost tea" for using on potted plants. Otherwise, I suppose you could give it to gardening friends.

    Maybe you could get some worm bins & raise worms to sell. I think others have tried that scheme, though, without ever getting rich.

    Our city uses several garbage cans on wheels for each resident. The gray can is for garbage, the blue one is for anything that recycles, & the green one is for yard waste. Food waste can be placed in the yard waste can, & the city makes & sells bagged compost. Therefore, people with no interest in gardening can still keep their leaves, fallen tree limbs, & kitchen waste out of the landfills. However, I make my own compost for gardening & am considering worm bins as well.

    May I suggest a better idea? Try Vermicomposting. Vermicomposting is the process of breaking down kitchen waste and other organic material by feeding the trash to red worms. Red worms or E.Fetida are a species of composting worms. They digest the compost down further leaving a chemical free soil amendment (my worms love to eat cardboard) You will never buy fertilizer again!
