It’s been about 2 months, and my roommate finally had a problem with the kitchen composter. She stubbed her toe on it in the dark because she had totally forgotten it was there. Since it doesn’t stink and hasn’t leaked, I guess that makes sense.
What’s in my composter? (new items are marked in bold):
Some paper napkins
3 pumpkins worth of pumpkin goo
A pint of cherries
2 pear pits
About 1/4 of the bag of Bokashi
2 Corn cobs
The rinds of 5 oranges
3 Grapefruit husks
About 3 cups of vegetable scraps
A cup of soy bean husks
8 Corn husks from Christmas tamales (hey – I live in Texas!)
More paper napkins
The skin of a miniature pumpkin
Half of a bagel
More Edamame husks
Scrap paper from direct mail
More than 2 dozen tea bags
The composter is getting rather full. The upper layers continue to settle, but the next time I load it I’m going to try pressing everything down.
Composter output:
About 1/3 cup of compost tea (this comes out very slowly now, possibly due to the compacted material)
No unpleasant smells.
