Kitchen Compost Bin – Advice From a Friend
A kitchen compost bin will come in many different shapes and sizes.Some are store bought and some are home made.
It is a very convenient way to store kitchen waste that would otherwise be headed for the landfill.
The better store bought kind have a charcoal pack in the lid that will absorb odors from food. This is a great help as you really do not want anything in the house that gives off an odor.
I use just a basic stainless steel can with lid but there are types available that have an assortment of designs.
The container can take a few days to fill up but when it is finally time to head to the compost pile, dig down in the pile just a bit and add new material. After it has been added cover it to keep pests out and this will begin the composting process even faster.
After the material is added to the pile you will just need to be patient. There are tumblers that you can buy to speed up the process. Even the fastest tumbler known to man takes about 4 or 5 weeks to work.
If your not in a major hurry a pile on the ground will work just fine. Pick an out of the way spot. Composting material does not smell but it can be hard to look at.
Kitchen is generally thought of as green matter or nitrogen material. You will also need to add some brown matter or carbon material.
Brown matter will be the things outside like dried leaves, pine needles, sawdust or newspaper items. Just black and white print though, to many chemicals in colors.
Put a little bit more brown material for a good mix but nothing is engraved in stone. Experiment and see what works best for you.

How to Make a Worm Compost Bin

Worm castings as they are called is great food for all plants, they will love you for it. Any container roughly 2ft by 2ft is large enough but you can go bigger. Good aeration is very important, worms are just like you and me they need to breathe air. There is one small difference they actually breathe through their skin.
That is why a good moist environment is really important. Dry skin is really uncomfortable for them. But you want to be careful not to drown them. The common name for the most commonly used worm is the Red Wiggler. The scientific name is the Eisensia fetida. They usually measure from 1.5 to 2.5 inches in length.
Things that they love to eat include leftover Watermelon, Pie filling, they really love pumpkin and corn meal. there are a few other things you can try to see what they like. Such as Coffee Grounds and Filters, Tea Leaves and Bags, Apples, Beans, Lettuce, Rice, Pancakes and Cantaloupe.
Tear them up into small bits for easy consumption. You can try freezing food scraps then thawing them out to soften them for easier digesting. Bury newly added food a few inches to deter fruit flies and other pests.
A worm compost bin is an excellent choice for those that live in apartment or have a very limited space. It takes up very little room and it produces good amounts of worm castings.
