Why To Buy A Kitchen Composter

A kitchen composter actually has a very good use, turning scraps into something you can use. This means less garbage in your barrel and in landfills. It also may mean less money spent on fertilizer and compost for your flower or vegetable garden.

A composter is fairly easy to use. You throw your scraps in and punch a few buttons. Leave it for the time specified in the manual and when you open it up again you have compost to help fertilize your yard and gardens.

Of course you can always make compost the old fashioned way. This involves a barrel or bin of some type that you set far away from your house. You then simply throw all scraps into it and wait. Eventually you will get compost like this as well.

One of the biggest benefits to an electric composter is that it helps to reduce smell. Rotting fruits, vegetables, and other food can make for a very nasty odor. You still have some smell with the electric version but there are chemicals you can add to help reduce this smell as well. Some people add enzymes to theirs, this gives the smell of bread dough from the machine.

An electric composted can be put anywhere there is a plug in. This means that you might even put it in your garage or a storage building to keep any smell out of your house. The drawback to this is that adding scraps means totting them to where ever you have your composter located.

Go green today and buy your own kitchen composter. This is a great way to do away with some of the waste that comes from your kitchen and have plenty of natural compost and fertilizer right at your fingertips. Try it today and watch your garden grow.

Composting Your Scraps Can Keep The Planet Green

Gardening can be lots of fun and very rewarding. You get to plant little seeds in the ground, and if you’re lucky, watch them grow into big plants with lots of flowers, fruits, or vegetables. Your green thumb can help your plants come to fruition and that’s a nice reward. But along with your successful planting comes a need to prune, thin out, and cull as well as get rid of the spent plants.

Should waste be put in garbage to be hauled to the landfill. The diseased plants and the weeds should, but everything else can go in your very own compost pile. Composting is an excellent way to take care of your garden pruning, tree trimmings, grass clippings, and even kitchen scraps.

There are 2 very good reasons why you should be composting your scraps.

It keeps the yard and kitchen waste out of the landfills where it has a hard time breaking down with all the plastic and other non-compostable stuff around it.

Composted scraps break-down and turn into a gardener’s secret weapon for next year’s crop… “black gold”. This nutrient-rich compost is just what your tired topsoil needs and is the perfect way to keep the cycle of life going.

To start composting, you use a bin or two, rather than open piles. Bins help the piles to heat up quicker and longer, which helps the waste to decompose faster. Plus, closed bins discourage little critters from coming along and feasting on all the goodies that make up your compost.

You can find a compost bin at your local garden store or online, and while they tend to be on the expensive side, they may make you some good compost faster. You can also make your own compost bins with instructions you can fine online or using your own imagination. You can even drill some holes in a plastic garbage can for aeration and use that. When it’s time for the pile to be turned, fasten the lid down with a bungee cord, lay it on it’s side and roll it around some.

Once you have your compost bin, you need to create a pile of brown, green, and soil with manure. Brown is Dead leaves, prunings, spent plants, smallish twigs. Green is Veggie scraps, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, used tea bags from the kitchen.

Bones and other meat leftovers do not belong in your compost pile because they attract wildlife.

If your compost pile smells, then you need to adjust the amounts of what you have in it. The rule of thumb is to add equal amounts of the brown, green, and dirt. When you throw something on the pile, like peelings from your potatoes and carrots, plus the broccoli your son refused to eat, then add some dirt and brown leaves as well.

It might take some time for your compost to break down, so you might want to have two bins going. One will be the bin that is older and is busy turning into compost, the other is a bin for the newest stuff.

When composting your scraps is ready, you’ll know it. It will be a dark color, smell good, and look like the prettiest top soil you have ever seen. Go ahead and spread it around your plants and garden and watch it grow. Compost is a natural fertilizer that your plants will love.
