RE: Banana peel / apartment composting
Hi, I lurk for the most part... But I have a question regarding apartment composting. I've really been considering it, but I don't know how to go about it easily. We have a small balcony, and I don't want to have smells or bugs. Atleast not a ton of nasty swarmy bugs. I've seen the inside countertop composters, but are those more just to hold the food until you take it outside then to actually compost? And I don't Want to spend a TON of money like the automatic inside composters. Thanks for any advice! (sorry for the formatting on my phone)
Re: RE: Banana peel / apartment composting
I have a worm bin in my apartment. It was in my kitchen for the first few months, then when it got warm (May-June) and fruit flies started to find it, I moved it outside. Now it's back inside, but in a stairwell hallway we don't use much. I do have some bugs - microscopic crawly things that stay on/in the bin, and fruit flies - but with the weather getting colder they'll be gone soon. No smell except new earth
My advice - try a worm bin on your balcony. You'll have to have a place inside for it in the wintertime, though, if it freezes where you live. GL!
a super easy way to get rid of fruit flies if you still have them is to put a white cup with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap in the general area where they are. they fly right in and never come out
