In the middle of Winter, I often throw out all my food scraps from cooking, instead of composting them. It just seems hard to go out into the snow with my bowl of veggie scraps, so I put them down the disposal or they end up in the trash.
I recently saw a great Infographic made by Sustainable America, that outlines “How to Compost in Your Apartment,” and is an easy illustrated guide that can help you (and me) get going on composting all year worms.
What do you need? A container with 2 lids, paper, water, and redworms! Worms sound like they might be dirty (which they are.. they live in dirt), but with this easy setup there is no smells or other bugs . There are a couple of steps to prepare the container and paper, and if you treat your worms right, they will last for years.
The website has the information on their blog, and also a black and white version of the directions that you can print and post near your compost bin.
Yes – it is January, but it is a great time to get composting!
