Video: The Compost is Saved

by Mike Lieberman on May 9, 2009 · 2 comments

It’s been two days since I attempted to get rid of the smell of the indoor compost pile.

There is no more leakage out of the bottom and the smell gone. The takeaway from this is not to take it easy on the food scraps.

Now I can take that and use it when building and maintaining my home composting bins at my parents and grandmothers. They’d be less willing to deal with the smell than my roommate.

    I don’t know how scientific this is but someone once told me your compost should have 10% green and 90% brown material.  So eat less and read more newspapers!

    I’ve heard 50/50 with no more than 10% of one particular item.
