compost if no garden??

I have no garden. Do any of you compost without a garden? What do you do with it?

Re: compost if no garden??

  • This will be our first year to have a garden (and a lawn). Before we bought a house, I would compost on work grounds. It was supposed to go to their planting, but that never happened. So, you can just leave it. You can do indoor or outdoor container plants, you can give it away on CL or Freecycle.

  • You wouldn't believe all the responses I had for it on freecycle! It was crazy!

  • Do you have a yard/lawn? I wasn't sure how specific you were using the term garden. Its great for plants in containers, your lawn, anything, but if you have no green space at all, others would love it!

  • My parents have an indoor worm composter- it's really neat, and it doesn't smell. Something to look into.

    We freeze our organic materials in big Tupperware containers and bring it to my parents' house when we visit so my mom can dump it in her worm composter.

    ETA: I just realized from reading the above responses you meant what to do with the finished product, not your household waste materials. But I'll second those who said give it away- I'm sure lots of people would be interested.

  • You could also donate compost/soil to local community gardens or find a school that has a garden program as part of their science program.
