Steel Compost
Kitchen Compost Bin – Complete Details
A kitchen compost bin will come in many different shapes and sizes.Some are store bought and some are home made.
It is a very convenient way to store kitchen waste that would otherwise be headed for the landfill.
The better store bought kind have a charcoal pack in the lid that will absorb odors from food. This is a great help as you really do not want anything in the house that gives off an odor.
I use just a basic stainless steel can with lid but there are types available that have an assortment of designs.
The container can take a few days to fill up but when it is finally time to head to the compost pile, Dig down in the pile a little bit and add new material. After it is added in cover it to keep pests out and this will begin the composting process even faster.
After the material is added to the pile you will just need to be patient. There are tumblers that you can buy to speed up the process. Even the fastest tumbler known to man takes about 4 or 5 weeks to work.
If your not in a major hurry a pile on the ground will work just fine. Pick an out of the way location. Composting material does not give off a bad odor but it can be hard to look at.
Kitchen is generally thought of as green matter or nitrogen material. You will also need to add some brown matter or carbon material.
Brown matter will consist of items outside like dried leaves, pine needles, sawdust or newspaper items. Just black and white print though, to many chemicals in colors.
Put more brown material than green for a good mix but nothing is engraved in stone. Experiment and see what works best for you.
