My Composting Solution

For the past month Dan and I have been putting out composting system to use. Since doing so we've cut our rubbish each week from 1.5 big garbage bags to only half a bag! We are now only throwing out non compostable items such as plastic and recycling paper, cardboard and metal.

Worm and Compost Buckets:

Our solution has 3 parts:

• The Worm Farm: All vegetable scraps excluding citrus, onions and garlic get fed to the worms. I generally feed the worms once a week and blend all their food up so its nice and mushy for them. The also get feed a 'fattener' once a week made up of chicken layer pellets, corn flour, powdered milk, agricultural lime and bran.

• Bokashi Bucket: Everything that can't be feed to the worms get put in the bokashi bucket, including small scraps of meat. This method ferments the food making it okay to put in the outside composter.
• The outside composter: This gets all the garden scraps plus the fermented bokashi bucket contents.
