This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you!! I just started composting on my balcony and I am enjoying every minute of it!! (Trying to encourage my family and friends to do it too..but that might be easier when I get my first harvest!) Its also more enjoyable eating fruits as I know that I will use ALL of it and not just the tasty bits

Your tips are great and I am excited about applying them. (especially about keeping the smell at bay as it is an apartment and the balcony is NOT in the west wing!!:))

Thanks again!

Yes, they get (most of) the scraps that we set aside for compost, and then we scoop their poop into the compost bin. It disintegrates quicker, and is very rich.

We have rabbits, and I let them ‘pre-process’ our compost; that is, they get most of our kitchen garbage, and their poop goes into the compost bin. We get incredibly rich soil – thank to the bunnies!
