Container Compost
The reason most people need to keep container gardens is because they don't have the room, backyard or dirt space for full-fledged gardens. Because of that, many people also don't have the luxury of keeping a full-size compost bin for creating the best potting and compost mixes for their plants or flowers. A container compost bin or bucket is just the answer to those with space problems. Most people don't realize that roughly 30% of waste from residential and apartment homes comes from the kitchen or the yard and ends up in county landfills. Much of that waste is organic matter than can be converted into compost for gardening purposes. Even though you don't have a huge vegetable or flower garden doesn't mean that you can't take advantage of even a small compost bin to help "green" the environment around you. Using a regular metal bucket or trash can with a lid will work for a container garden size compost supply, as will any number of plastic or woods bins and containers that you can purchase from your local gardening center or home improvement store. Such containers don't take up a lot of space and can sit in a corner of your patio, balcony or yard. What do you put in your compost container? Start with yard clippings such as grass and shrubs and cut-offs and dead leaves from houseplants and flowers. You can also add most of your kitchen scraps, like egg shells, coffee grounds, vegetable and fruit peels and scraps. Lining a small bucket or container with a plastic bag will not only reduce the chance of smelling up your kitchen, but will make using the compost easier when it is ready. There are a number of items that you don't want to add to your compost container, such as meat scraps, bones or fish parts. Avoid tossing in any types of fatty foods like cheeses, butters or salad dressing or other oils. Never toss in animal wastes or plants that look diseased or may be infested with pests, nor weeds. People that keep container gardens generally don't have the room, backyard or dirt space for full-fledged gardens. Since they keep container gardens, these people don't have the luxury of keeping a full-size compost bin. A container compost bin or bucket is just the answer to those with space problems.
