Didn’t realize things needed to be dry! Thanks for making this video! I just bought a countertop compost bin on a whim at target but there were no instructions so was surprised to see that everything was horribly wet and moldy inside after using it for a week.
I dry bones and eggshells and grind them but sprinkle them directly into my worm bin. Everything else except grease or fat gets composted in a tote before going into the worm bin. The tote is large enough to lasagna fresh waste into one end and take finished compost out the other. Adding to an active bin speeds the process up. The compost bin and worm bin are both in my basement covered with landscape fabric to keep gnats out and it is oderless.
Hello Veronica, thank you so much for sharing. I'm finally trying to get into growing a few fruit trees and vegetables indoors but I live in an apartment. I already use coffee grounds and egg shells for my citrus trees and coffee grounds for my gardenia and Pothos plants. And I've hated throwing out the scraps so looking forward to doing this. But since I can't use an outside compost bin, can I just keep it indoors in a small bin and can I use this compost for my houseplants as well as, for fruit and vegetable plants?😊🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would NOT keep your compost going indoors unless you are using a Bokashi, vermicomposting or Lomi setup. Otherwise, you are going to intoxicate your living space with mould and other putrid toxins.
I have that exact bin in storage. Can I just start throwing stuff in there? Would you recommend that I start it with grass or dead leaves, then add tangerine peels/strawberries/coffee? Or can I just start with that?
Do you have to stop using the outside compost bin for 30 days for it to decompose? Also how long does it take to fill the outside bin? And how full should it be …. Lots of questions please make another video
LoL I'm working on mute compost videos! My bin has 2 compartments. So once one side is full (like 3/4 of the way) then I leave it alone and start filling the other side. Usually it takes me a few weeks to fill up each side but then it can take a few months for it to decompose, depending on what you put inside. If you add things like sticks and whole egg shells then that takes a while. But vegetable scraps and crushed eggshells and lawn clippings decompose much faster. Hope that helps!
Loving your content! It’s nice to see a full time working mom in a house with a small garden producing so much food! So many women in the same position. It’s really motivating me to get my garden going again. My littlest is six month and oldest is four, so it’s been busy, but I’m not using them as an excuse anymore. Have you looked at bokashi composting? I’m looking into it because you supposedly can put meat and dairy products.
Soo glad I could inspire you! I've never heard of bokashi but that'd be great not to waste meat and dairy! I was looking to get into worm composting actually so I'll have to look that up too! Thanks for the recommendation 💕
@@MiniUrbanFarm Hey, I assume you've already got it figured out since your message is from 9 months ago but I found this video (th-cam.com/video/eO4HdrIXnVU/w-d-xo.html) and it was so helpful! I'm in an apartment and I'm just starting my composting journey to figure out what works best for me. Thank you so much for helping all of us newbies out!!
Wow your husband is a lucky man , keep sharing your awesome survival tips 🤙🏾 ( it seems like you have a few jealous hateful & snotty Karen's that disagree with how you present yourself for whatever reason , with success comes hate !!! Don't let them miserable witches bother you .
short cut put veggie waste thru the blender with alot of water! before you put it in the counter top composter. drain as much water as posible! or if you have a yard, scatter the organic material in the dirt, or grass. I just throw mine water and all on my lawn, and let nature take it's course!
I wouldn't normally agree , but um um um . Get to the point of the bin ..,, it doesn't take 10 min plus to , put organic matter in a bin , no meat , no oil . Job Um um um um um .... Done
@ Gloria Pratt and the ignorant person who agreed with you, just stop being nasty. Seriously! This young woman and her video I found very informative and she is trying to educate and do something nice for the environment that everyone seems to be banging on about theses days. So if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing. Show some respect or is that too much to ask?
Only unhappy humans bring hate, and if you're not happy it has nothing to do with "ums." Be nicer and learn something or upload your garden video and show us better.
The best, most thorough yet quick, breakdown of composting basics from kitchen to garden!! Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful! 😊

Mini urban farm! Oh ok im excited now❤
My baking workspace is the counter to the right of the stove. I bought a 50cent basket at a yard sale,the kind I used to use to pick be
Thank you for explaining it so well!
Glad it was helpful!
I use my old agua de orchata jar in my kitchen for compost.
Yes! It's so easy and can be done with whatever you have on hand!
I love watching your videos your editing is on point my dude 👌

If we have vegetables and fruits that have started to get stale..can we compost them?
So informative
When outside compost bin is is ready for use, can one conceal it in a bag for the following season?
Usually what I'll do is take out the compost and put it in a separate container until I'm ready to use it
Hi do you use 2 compost bins outside on that is ready and one you keep feeding? Thank you
It's just one bit but with 2 compartments
Your videos R amazing. They have helped us so much. Thank you!

@@caitlincooper0 thanks so much for sharing 😊
Love the video 🤩
Love the compost bin, where could I get the exact one and price.
Hey Cynthia, it's this one...amzn.to/37pQcMA
Thank you so very much, placing it in my shopping cart now. 🤗
Where did you find the spaghetti container that you used
I actually got it at TJ Maxx
Do you have to rinse out the eggs?
I only put the eggshells in compost, but I don't really clean them before they go in
Nice ❤

Do u add worms to your compost?
I had a separate worm composting bin, but I've taken a break from that for a bit.
New subby here loved this video very informative
Glad you liked it!!
Clearly I'm not composting enough!! LOL!!
Lol yes!!
😍
Why didn't you just let your dog finish eating the green tomatoes?
😂
Your videos are very excited....you are so beautiful
That's not kitchen composting. It is only a container in the kitchen, you are still composting outside. Misleading title.
Thank you very much! You’ve saved my 10 minutes
