How can I make compost in my house for my house plants?

I’d like to start a small container in my room to make compost for my plants…which are a tropical and cacti, and one grass-like plant. How can I start this and have it not smell bad? I do not mind a green smell, but not rotting or sewage-like. Thank you.

For indoor composting, you need to use worms. You get a bin, shred some old newspaper to use as bedding, wet it down, add the worms, and start adding your vegetable scraps. In three months, you will have your first compost ready. The standard species of worms to use is red wigglers. You can buy them on line. You can spend a little bit of money on the bin, or a lot. I use an old plastic storage bin that cost $9, and I drilled holes in it. Or you can spend hundreds of dollars on a commercial bin. Your bin will not smell at all if you do things right. The worst thing that can happen is that you will get fruit flies, but there are ways to prevent that. (One preventative measure is to never ever put bananas in your compost. Bananas come pre-infested with fruit flies. I wanted to mention that because of the first answer that you got.)

There is a definitive book on the topic called "Worms Eat My Garbage". You can buy it on line new or used, or check it out of your public library.

BTW, there is a Yahoo! Group on Vermicomposting that you can join.

How do you make a compost pile?

Okay, so we have an experiment and only has a time of about two months to make a compost pile and we have to grow a plant!!! Can we make it? It’s very warm in our country, VERY. Do you think we can make it if I start today? What do I need to put in the compost? What tips can you give me so I will get my compost
can i put it in a somewhat large and high plastic container?
what are the environmental benefits of composting? does it lessen garbage, etc?

If you mean that you have to make compost and then grow a plant, I would say that two months is not very long, but maybe possible. You might consider using Bokashi. You can purchase the kit or the culture at many places online including Amazon. I think the kit I looked at promised compost in 10 days.

Composting definitely can reduce food and garden waste that might be sent to a landfill. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, composting enriches soil, cleans up contaminated soil, helps prevent pollution and offers economic benefits.

Good Luck.

How do I get my compost to get hot over the winter?

I know that with the right conditions, compost can get very hot at the centre of the pile, but I’ve never managed to achieve this. I live in southern Ontario, where the temperature rarely gets above zero between January and March, and regularly goes below -20, but I’d like to keep my compost ‘composting’ over the winter, rather than freezing. Is there any way to do it? Is it just getting the right mix of ‘green’ and ‘brown’ materials, or is there more to it than that?

The heat at the center of the pile is a function of bacterial decomposition activity. As long as there is stuff to break down, the heat continues. Air is also vital to supporting decomposition so regular turning to aerate is crucial as well as the proper moisture level.
