A Beginner’s Questions about Home Composting
The early stages of anything are usually the most difficult. I honestly don’t know anything about home composting or how to make compost and I have a bunch of questions that might be embarrassing to ask, but thanks to the Internet, I can do so anonymously. Here are a few of the questions for which I will be searching for answers and posting my findings right here on this blog. Of course, I’ll also be sharing the experiences that I have as a new home composter.
My Questions (in no particular order):
- Do I have to use worms to make compost? Answer (updated 9/25/09): No, but it looks like a really good option.
- Is composting gross?
- Is there a home composter that I can use inside my house that doesn’t smell and take up too much room?
- What types of things can I put into my composter?
- Is it better to buy a home composter or to build your own?
- What types of compost containers are best - compost tumblers, worm bins etc.?
- What can I do with the compost once I make it? Can I put it on my lawn? How do I use it on plants? What if I have extra?
- Is there an easy way to compost at home and get your family involved?
I know I have many more questions and will post both questions and the answers I find as I go throught this process. If you have any help to offer, please feel free to comment.
