Kitchen Compost

what is one of the common forms of composting?

i need help, what are the advantages and disadvantages?

I use a large metal wire cage made out of 8 sections. Each section can be removed to turn it or remove the compost. I envision my compost pile as a circle within the cage and add the new materials at the final third of the compost and save the first third for use. The middle third is "in the oven." I compost kitchen waste, grass clippings, leaves, spent flowers, and a little soil. In the spring I dissolve a packet of dry yeast and water the pile with that which gets the bacteria working in it. I also water the pile a few times in the summer. If you want compost fast, turn your pile often. If you have a good heap and time is on your hands, turn it less often. I suppose mine only gets turned about once before I use it.

   Probably not one of the MOST popular, but it's been getting more popular is vermicomposting with red wigglers. Anyone can do it, even apartment dwellers and you can keep the worms in a bin in your home that you add vegetable scraps to. I like to do this, especially in the winter when I don't like to take that trek out in the cold to my compost and nothing much is composting anyway (we have a small pile). You get worms for fishing, compost tea to use on your plants/houseplants, and the worm castings for your garden. They're like gold! Goodluck!
