| This is my compost just after I've mixed it for this week. I was shocked that it smelled like dirt, fresh dirt. I dump my used coffee grinds in here every morning so I never need to add any water. |

| I know this might sound odd but I use scissors to cut veggie scraps up into tiny pieces, I also tear up paper scraps into strips then cut them strips up as well. They incorporate easier and degrade faster. |

| My onion that went bad is going to be beautiful compost |
 |
| All mixed. I think I might need to start another bucket. |

Composting does take trial and error to get it right. We had a wet mess our first year. Now, I really got it down to a science. You keep your bin inside? Do you still do the worm composting?
Hi meemsnyc. My worms died last year. I kept them in my kitchen over the winter. It did not go well.
I keep this compost bucket in the kitchen. It has no oder, no bugs. It's pretty filled so I am going to start another one this week. I think I am going to dump the filled bucket into my big compost bucket that I have outside....I'm hoping my son will buy me a Tumbling Composter for Mother's Day.
Thank you so much for reading my blog and for your comment.
