After the first week of testing, I’m happy to report that I’m still alive. The Indoor Kitchen Composter hasn’t released any unpleasant smells, blown up, or gotten up and started walking on it’s own.
Since the Indoor composter uses anaerobic bacteria, I kept it tightly closed for the entire week. When I cracked the lid to add a few new items, I noticed that the composter seems to be doing its job. There’s a bit of visible bacteria growth, and there’s a slightly sweeter scent to the Bokashi (which I can only smell when the lid is off). I checked the spigot, but so far there’s no compost tea.
Here’s what I’ve put in the composter to date (new additions are marked in bold):
Some paper napkins
3 pumpkins worth of pumpkin goo (left over from a Halloween carving)
A pint glass full of old cherries
2 pear pits
About 1/6 of the bag of Bokashi
2 Corn husks
A Grapefruit rind
Additional vegetable scraps

Here’s what the composter has produced:
No compost tea so far.
No unpleasant smells. (Huzzah!)
Return to Week 1
What will week 3 bring?
