Well I started a compost box outside but how to get the organics from the kitchen outside. Last summer we had a nice hatch of brown flies. Couldn’t keep it coming fast enough.
First there was the trader joes coffee can…
Then there was the can with the plastic sac… Yes I know the plastic sac of doom. The sacs would pile up outside next to the compost box.
Then there was that blue ceramic mix bowl that had that nasty crack in it.
Now we just fill the bowl and take it outside. Find a ceramic bowl at the thrift store if you don’t have one.
Nice cracked blue bowl. Skip the bag, just rinse.

I don’t use plastic bags for my trash or recycling either. I live in a desert like area, so I simply rinse the bins over the tiny bit of lawn I have - the bit of food waste fertilizes the grass and the water cleans the bin and waters the lawn. Win win.
