Compost System 🥗 🍂 ♻ 🪱 🌱 🌳 🍎

[nelsonic]

One of the most important daily systems #113 we need to have working flawlessly in any Community Living Space is Composting
because we all produce organic waste on a daily basis. It might just be banana peel, apple core or other "waste", but can also be a lot more e.g. peeling veg, used coffee grounds and, sadly, spoiled food. 💭

We currently use stainless steel mixing bowls (cheap and immediately obvious what they are being used for),
but it's not a fool-proof System; last year most of the Workaway people ignored the bowl
and just put organic waste in the trash that goes to landfill. 🙃

We have discussed having a counter-top composter: #199 but it's just another (expensive) appliance to get broken by careless people. 💸
What we need is a low-tech (no tech) solution that can be followed by anyone consistently.

Easy-to-clean, carry and empty Stainless Steel compost bin.

We had one of these in LDN and I used to periodically empty it into the Communal Garden.
But I was the only person who bothered to use (and empty) it ...

What we need is a System with very clear instructions that everyone can follow.

I'm very happy to commit to using it if it's a closed bin. I brought the small one we used in the UK down about 2 years ago but it was deemed too small.
The mixing bowls are not sightly and create hoards of fruit flies for 8 months of the year (aside from the intense smell of coffee now we have a new coffee machine #310) so I'm VERY keen to do away with them.

The one we used in LDN was 3Litres this is 5; considerably bigger.

Ordered the stainless steel compost bin to test. 🛒 📦 ⏳
