How to compost
It made me
feel resourceful.
 "Feels rewarding to reduce the waste we send to the landfill."
How I did it: I went to a composting workshop offered through the local recycling agency. There I was able to purchase a commercially made bin at a discounted rate. This was not necessary, I learned at the workshop, to accomplish compost, but it was important to me because my honey was nervous about the undertaking as far as smell and animals and stuff and so the locking lid solved those issues. Then I started filling the bin with fall leaves leftover from the winter. Resources: (Sorry I can't get the hyperlinks to work)

How I did it: This is another one where a lot of research was involved. I didn't just start composting, I started vermicomposting. With worms. So not only am I responsible for keeping the kitchen from smelling, I also need to keep those little guys alive. Too much water means they drown. Too much food means it stinks. Too little water means they dry out. But I finally bought a pound of worms, got a 10 gallon, opaque (cleaned) plastic bin. Filled i… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Using a wire bin didn't work for us because of our hot and dry summer climate, so I bought an enclosed plastic compost bin that spins easily on a base. I also bought a small metal kitchen composter to collect veggie waste in the kitchen.The result has been a flourishing veggie garden along with a reduction in the amount of waste that is going into a landfill. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I read a lot online, and consulted some local experts (the worm retailer and a nature museum). Then I built my bin and paid $20 for a few hundred worms. Now I'm ready to reduce my landfill waste and have super duper soil!! Read how I did it…
Katie is making a list.
How I did it: I got a plastic bin with a lid, drilled some holes near the top (you could poke some with a screw driver if you don't have a drill), dumped some leftover fall leaves and food scraps (fruits and veggies), and added some already mostly composted leaves from under my deck!

I’m doing this, yes, but I am having trouble. Everywhere I use my compost, a tomato plant grows. Frustrating! Apparently my pile isn’t heating up enough to kill the seeds from the green materials I add to the pile. Must research and resolve this before I can consider this thing ‘done.’
This will be done when I get some actual workable compost from it. I’m so impatient, and check the bin every day!
I am done contributing to the pile. After 6 weeks, I see no change. I will see what happens in the spring.
I keep adding a mix of “browns and greens” but I see no change. What am I doing wrong? It’s been 4 weeks.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to compost in my apartment. I think this means a worm bin is the most practical option. Just signed up for a workshop at the Solana Center to get started!
Every day I add food scraps and shredded paper to my pile. It’s growing every day. I still really have no idea what I am doing. But the good news is there is no smell or slime. My 2 year old helps me by throwing food scraps in. I want to teach him everything!
It’s raining hard pretty much every day. I wonder if this will ruin all my efforts? I haven’t figured out a way to cover the pile. Maybe some tarp or something?

I ahev to break up my compost kingdom, because Mum wants to change the lay out of her garden and my compost was behind a hedge on her block. So I opened the bins and put the contents on two of the four vegie patch; the other two has vegies in them. Then I covered the compost with pea straw and now, i leave it.
I had to change after that because I got goop in my pockets, and along one leg – yuk.
Now I just need to buy the worms! I want to wait until I’m sure they won’t freeze to death and since it snowed this weekend, I’m a little afraid to get them yet….
Already been saving up scraps and tossing them into a corner of my garden, but obviously that is only a temporary solution.

“I live in a city, and want to start a kitchen compost bin. All the systems I've seen online are REALLY expensive! Can I just throw scraps in a container? Would I have to turn or drain it somehow?”

xcSarah87 asks,
“HELP! Something I put into the bin must have had fruitfly eggs in it, because I opened the lid yesterday and a bunch of little flies flew out. How can I get rid of the flies without killing my worms?”
