Even old cooked veggie leftovers, old white rice leftover from chinese food...goes in there. Problem is...those damned fruit flies!<br />Would love to try this new composter! Mine is an old ceramic canister with a big crack down the side. It needs to be retired!<br />...Joyce GrigonisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-4176133616512436732012-11-01T08:43:22.491-04:002012-11-01T08:43:22.491-04:00I have been composting for many years.

(Of course, no meat, oil or dairy.) The problem is that because the compost bins are all the way in the back garden, I often have the bowl of scraps sitting on the kitchen counter until I'm headed down there or can force the kids to take it to the compost. I've tried a compost bucket before, but it just got stinky and filled with fruit flies, so we try to empty the bowl daily. Honestly, it's just nasty looking. I'm glad to hear the bags do break down well, because once I put a "compostable" cup into the compost bin to see how long it would take for it to decompose. Guess what? Two years later, the cup is perfectly intact. Yikes. That's so much for the fun giveaway--I'll definitely check out this system.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643317297830165273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-88106876067554367902012-10-28T12:12:14.148-04:002012-10-28T12:12:14.148-04:00I too do not compost during the winter because it ...I too do not compost during the winter because it is just a pain to get the stuff out to the bin in the cold and snow.

I currently vermicompost and have two compost bins active in the garden. I have a huge problem with fruit flies but found that if I wash my fruit when I bring it home either in Dawn dish washing soap or vinegar the fruit flies are a lot less. <br /><br />I use a coffee can to contain my vegetable matter which is a little ugly but convenient! I too struggle with going to the compost bins in the winter because of the mud and the snow! <br /><br />A new system would be very welcome because we are done with the fruit flies!Fran Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074490015181435351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-62075168433923713362012-10-27T11:28:15.515-04:002012-10-27T11:28:15.515-04:00I have been composting for years - two ways.

I have a small cute bucket on the counter for the worm composting and a larger bucket below the counter for our community composting in the back area of our yard. Someone is always adding kitchen scraps, leaves, grass, garden cuttings or turning the compost. It has been great to recycle all of this into beautiful compost!
