I have been wanting to start a compost bin in my kitchen for the longest time. Then the lazy bug hit. I wondered how it was at all possible to compost in an NYC apartment. The result is I'm still tossing all those delicious (to a worm at least) scraps down my sink and in my trash. But wait, thanks to
NY Compost there are no more excuses. Even for us city dwellers without a garden. You toss it and they pick it up. Easy.
Now the search for a fitting compost bin starts. I don't want it to stand out like a sore thumb on my beautiful open plan counters or to smell like the diaper pail I keep very hidden. I also don't want guests thinking it's a cookie jar and dipping their paws in there. The choice is vast and I'm at a loss. Here are some that caught my eye for one reason or another. I appreciate any advice.

Hey Francesca,
ReplyDeleteYou found some great ones. I also like what gardners.com carries. If you ever want some composting advice, I'm a Master Composter and would love to help. I've been composting in NYC apt's since 1998. :)
Stacey I knew you'd be one for good info ;) I will pick one out and then get you over here to help me set it up. I want to hear about how you do it (although you have a lovely back yard which helps). Thanks!
