INDOOR COMPOSTING

For many people, composting is something that happens outdoors, in a bin or pile where kitchen scraps and yard waste can break down into rich, crumbly soil.

But did you know that you can also compost indoors? Indoor composting is a great way to reduce your household waste and provide your plants with a natural source of nutrients.

Best of all, it doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. Here are a few simple tips for getting started with indoor composting:

First, choose a container. A small bin with a tight-fitting lid will work nicely. Drill a few holes in the lid to allow air to circulate, and place the bin in a sunny spot. Add your kitchen scraps – things like fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells – to the bin.

For best results, mix in some dry brown materials like shredded newspaper or dried leaves. Every week or so, give the contents of the bin a good stir to help aerate the mixture.

When your bin is full, it’s time to add the finished compost to your potted plants or garden beds.

If you want a really easy way to compost your kitchen scraps and even paper consider starting an indoor worm bin.
