A Look at the Envirocycle Backyard Compost Tumbler

Posted by Home Composter on November 15th, 2009 under Envirocycle Composter, Urban Compost Tumbler

One of the composters that I got to see during the Home Composting Workshop was the Envirocycle Backyard Compost Tumbler.  It made me laugh when I realized my perception of its shape had been distorted by my wide-screen monitor which makes everything look wide. Other than that, it was as I expected – small enough to [...]

No Kitchen Compost Crock Yet

Posted by Home Composter on October 15th, 2009 under Compost Crock, Kitchen Compost Bin

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 [...]

My Worm Factory 360 Has Arrived!

Posted by Home Composter on October 7th, 2009 under Worm Bins

The UPS driver delivered my Worm Factory 360 around 5:30 this afternoon!  I have a fairly large Tupperware container full of food scraps waiting patiently in my refrigerator, newspaper and cereal boxes tucked behind a table and a space cleared on my porch. Only thing missing are my Red Wigglers. Not to worry, the worms [...]

Looking for a Small Compost Container

Posted by Home Composter on September 21st, 2009 under Compost Containers

One thing I know for sure is that I am looking for a small compost container. I was outside my townhouse this morning looking at space and I’m not sure I really have a good outdoor spot for it. That means something that fits on my porch or in my kitchen. Naturemill is [...]

I Won’t Be Using a Compost Pile

Posted by Home Composter on September 17th, 2009 under How to Make Compost

I can easily say that I’ve ruled out using a compost pile or heap as my method of composting.  Although I don’t know if I can be called an urban composter, I live in a small townhouse and have very limited space inside and if I’m going to put anything outside, it had better be almost [...]

Choosing My Home Compost Container

Posted by Home Composter on September 16th, 2009 under Compost Containers

Well, here I am in the very early stages of becoming a home composter.  It’s starting to look like their may not be a clear cut “perfect choice” for a home compost container for me. 
The NatureMill composters look perfect at first glance. I could keep it in my kitchen – there wouldn’t be any smell and compost would [...]

Indoor Compost Containers

Posted by Home Composter on September 15th, 2009 under Compost Containers

I’m sure there are many like me who want to compost because it seems a good choice for the environment, not so much because we want fresh compost.  I’m thrilled that there will be the benefit of having nutrient-rich compost for my garden, but that certainly isn’t my main goal. It hasn’t taken me long to discover [...]

A Beginner’s Questions about Home Composting

Posted by Home Composter on August 18th, 2009 under Composting 101

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 [...]
