Becoming a composter

There is more than one way to compost, but if you’re going to be composting indoors, the method we recommend is vermicomposting.

Vermicomposting is a system of composting organic material via red wiggler worms that does not require stirring like most outdoor compost systems and if done properly, does not smell. Once you learn how to keep your worms happy, you can start feeding them food scraps which they will happily turn to compost for you.

There are a variety of opinions on how to go about getting your worm bin started. Take your time and learn about different approaches before deciding how to approach it.
