Kitchen Compost Stoneware Crock Review
My mother-in-law gave me a Green Stoneware Counter Top Composter as a Christmas gift. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks at this point and it’s been full of food for about a week. I added a banana peel this morning and noticed that it was ready to be emptied so I shot this quick video for you.

JUST A SHORT VIDEO TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF MY FIRST WORM BUCKET MADE MOSTLY OUT OF RECYCLED MATERIALS. BUCKETS FROM LOCAL RESTAURANT, GARBAGE BIN FROM GARAGE SALE– .25
DRILL-BITS 1/8, 1/16, NEWSPAPER,FOOD WASTE, AND WORMS.
MY MAIN PURPOSE IS TO BECOME MORE SELF RELIANT. I WANT TO PRODUCE MY OWN FOOD AND ONE WAY TO START THAT IS WITH GOOD SOIL. THE WORM POOP (CASTINGS) IS A GREAT ORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENT FOR ANY GROWING REGIMEN. WHILE MAKING NUTRITIOUS FOOD FOR PLANTS, ONE CAN RECYCLE THEIR PERSONAL FOOD WASTE. THIS KEEPS A SMALL AMOUNT OF DEBRIS OUT OF THE LANDFILLS. IMAGINE WHAT WE COULD DO WITH MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS VERMICOMPOSTING? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS A WHOLE INDUSTRY OF WORM FARMS?
MORE SPECIFIC VIDEOS TO COME.

Kitchen Compost
Have you recently started a compost bin but find that its an annoying chore to constantly bring your kitchen scraps out to it? What good is a compost bin outside when most of the stuff that you want to put into it is in your kitchen? If you want to collect kitchen scraps for your compost bin you should really own a compost crock.
A compost crock looks like a cookie jar but instead of storing cookies in it, you store garbage. Put your used coffee grinds, eggshells, vegetable peelings or fruit rinds in there for safekeeping. When its filled up, then you bring it out to your compost bin. What could be easier? Now theres no need to walk outside every time you make a cup of coffee or peel a carrot. Just pop the waste into your kitchen compost crock and you can take it outside another time.
Lots of people aren’t too keen about the idea of storing garbage in their kitchen. They worry about smells and bugs and other things that usually accompany garbage. Well there’s no need to worry with a compost crock because they have carbon filters built right into the lids. You won’t smell anything and neither will bugs. Even those pesky fruit flies, who knows where they come from anyway, won’t have a clue what’s in your compost crock.
Compost crocks come in different colors and are even made from different materials. It will be easy to find one that will look good in your kitchen. There’s stainless steel models and also ceramic ones too. Now just because you have a compost crock doesn’t mean that you can let the contents sits for weeks on end. Be sure to empty your crock at least once a week.
Cleaning a compost crock is easy too. Depending on what you put in it, there may be some liquid at the bottom of the crock. Just pour this out on your compost bin and you can even rinse it out with your garden hose. Most compost crocks are even dishwasher safe. It’s a good idea to give it a good cleaning every once in a while.
Stop throwing away those banana peels, tea bags and anything else that could be used in your compost bin to make an terrific organic fertilizer. Its almost like throwing out money. A compost crock will make saving these items more convenient and that will make composting more convenient too.

The Secrets Behind A Great Compost Program
Composting is a way of getting in touch with nature. Stay away from the chemically enhanced fertilizers at the stores. You can make your own fertilizer through a process known as composting. In the process you will probable have the opportunity to get down on your knees and get your hands a dirty, and nothing is dirtier than compost.
Compost is the process where biodegradable materials are turned into a soil like substance. The material is mixed with air, water, nitrogen in the proper proportions. The result is a compost material that will serve as a soil conditioner, mulch, and fertilizers. It will feed your garden soil the microorganism that plants need to grow strong and healthy.
When starting a compost program it is best to find a spot close to your garden, but some where concealed from plain site. When you show people your beautiful garden you do not want the first thing they see to be your compost heap. They are practical but not very pretty.
After you decide on a suitable area you will start the pile with green and brown organic materials. Green materials are high in nitrogen while the brown material contain lots of carbon. These two elements form the basic foundation of a compost pile.
A properly formed compost pile will not give off any odors. When the ratio of green and brown materials are correct the pile will not emit any odors. Compost should have an earthy smell and not that of rotting material. If the latter is present then something may be in the pile that should not be there or the ratio of green and brown material is off.
Adding some finished compost to the mix helps to kick start the composting program. This will help start the microbial activities in a compost pile.
Make sure that the pile is moist. Keeping the compost pile damp will help to quicken the breakdown of the organic materials. Add water to the pile it should be damp like a sponge
Producing compost is really a pretty simple matter. It just takes a little know how and a fair amount of time.
