I think I mentioned earlier this winter that our community garden has gained closed composting bins. I have not composted before, but it’s one of my goals for 2015. <\/p>\n
I’d like some advice, though.<\/p>\n
My major concern about composting is pest control. Not of the four-legged sort, but of the six-legged variety. I know us and the most frequently we’re going to get down to the garden is twice a week, and that’s probably more likely in the summer than the winter when there’s nothing to water or harvest. So something that seals well is imperative.<\/p>\n
Second, I want something smallish. (Not small, mind you. Just not gigantic.) I’d rather not have an in-cabinet option, since once you’ve had pests living in a cabinet, even if they’re long gone, it’s not something you’d like them to make attractive in any way. However, we also have a galley-style kitchen, so space is at a premium.<\/p>\n
Finally, weight: It’s roughly 2\/3 of a mile to the garden, so something light, but still scent-impervious is preferable. Biobags are only allowed to be composted if we shred them, so I admit I’m not ecstatic about the idea, but am willing to consider it if folks say it’s my best bet.<\/p>\n
Do you compost? Do you like the in-house container you use to do so? Suggestions and thoughts are appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
