This week, I decided to add a bit of roughage to the Indoor Kitchen Composter. While going through my mail, I came across a bunch of financial documents with account numbers and my address printed on them. Normally, I’d tear these up and put them in the paper recycling bin, but even tearing up paper may not protect you from identity theft. So, I decided to play it safe and feed the confidential details to my pet bacteria.
The latest list of compost:
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 1/5 of the bag of Bokashi (remember to add more with additional compost)
2 Corn cobs
A Grapefruit rind
Additional vegetable scraps
A half dozen tea bags
Scrap paper from direct mail
The rinds of 5 oranges
I also found further proof that the composter is working exactly as it should – it produced the first batch of compost tea!
Composter output:
A very very small amount of compost tea
No unpleasant smells.
There was only about 3 tablespoons of compost tea, but this stuff is a very potent fertilizer. I mixed it with a full glass of water and poured the mix on a patch of grass outside my apartment. If the grass is still alive next week, then I’ll try fertilizing my houseplants with compost tea.
Did you miss the start of this crazy experiment?
