What Is a Kitchen Composter

A kitchen compost bin will turn peelings, trimmings and other throwaways — including meat, dairy, even bones! — into valuable soil and liquid fertilizer ready for your plants, all cleanly and without odor. Some indoor composters fit neatly under your sink and work as quickly as ten days.

How does a kitchen composter work?

Indoor automatic composters let you turn your scraps into fertilizer inside your house. … The process of composting is fueled by microorganisms present in soil that help break down organic materials within the waste, which is then converted into a fertilizer that can be used on lawns and gardens.

How do I start a kitchen compost bin?

Start with dirt on the bottom and some shredded newspaper on top. Then add kitchen scraps like banana peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells everyday as you cook or clean out your fridge. It’s best to break or cut up these scraps into small pieces to help them decompose faster.
