Went from tossing coffee grounds in the trash to a 5 gallon bucket setup, wish I'd done it sooner
For two years in my one bedroom in Portland I just threw coffee grounds and banana peels straight in the trash because I thought composting needed a yard. Then a neighbor in 3B showed me her setup: a 5 gallon bucket with a lid, drilled holes, and a worm bin she keeps under the sink. I switched last March and now I dump about 2 pounds of scraps a week in there instead of the garbage. The weird part is the bucket never smells bad, I was scared of that for way too long. I use shredded junk mail as the brown stuff and it soaks up any wetness no problem. Anyone here running worms in a small place, do you ever deal with fruit flies or did I just get lucky with mine?
