This is the Compost Bucket they were using.

I mentioned that in the Home Composting Workshop that I attended yesterday, they were using a compost bucket in their break room. I asked the instructor if they had any problems with odors or fruit flies and she said they did not. The compost bucket they were using has a filter in the top and she said they haven’t changed it since they bought it two years ago. It’s one of the containers I had originally considered for my own kitchen and it may be in my future, but so far I’m getting by nicely with my large plastic storage container in the fridge.

This compost container comes in a 9.6 quart size or a 5.5 quart size. I think the small one would work well for me right beside the trash can in the pantry.

Kitchen Compost Crock

Although I really like the idea of using a kitchen compost crock like this Norpro Countertop Keeper, we are limited on counter space, so we’ve been using our Rubbermaid leftover container as our kitchen compost bin. So long as there is room, it will stay in the fridge, but at some point, I imagine we’ll have a problem with space in there too. I don’t really think it would stink even if we left put it under the counter because the seal is so tight. I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

How will a kitchen compost container look on my countertop?

I keep talking about this, but haven’t decided what to do about a kitchen compost container to throw food into before taking it out to the worms. Since the Worm Factory is arriving on Wednesday, I decided I maybe needed to start saving some food waste so that I would have something to feed the worms when they get here. Chances are I won’t need that much, but I was cutting up veggies for the crock pot and decided to put the scraps in a container and put it in the fridge for a few days. I know I won’t always have room in the refrigerator, so I still need to come up with a solution that will work for me and the rest of my household. That means it either needs to be hidden or it needs to be attractive. I guess I don’t really care which way we go, so I’ll sit down with the family tonight to discuss our options.
