Vent: I miss when my apartment compost was just a old bowl in the fridge. Now every guide wants a special bin that smells bad if you look at it wrong. | Apartment Composting - The Community Guide
That fridge bowl trick was so simple, just a old plastic container with a lid. What exactly are these new guides telling you to use that makes it smell so fast? I tried a fancy countertop bin once and it started reeking after two days, even with the charcoal filter. Is it the material or the lack of airflow that's causing the issue in your case?
Ha! So the secret ingredient is "intentional contamination." That's hilarious. I tried one of those fancy countertop bins too and my kitchen literally smelled like a dumpster by day three. Guess the airflow is doing the work for us whether we like it or not. But hey, at least my leftovers are getting that authentic "lived in" aroma now, right?
