How can I start composting in my apartment?

Starting composting in an apartment is easy! You can use a compost bin or a worm bin. Do you have a preference?

I think a compost bin would be better. What materials can I use?

Great choice! You can compost fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and even some paper products.

What about odors? I’m worried it might smell.

If done correctly, composting shouldn't smell bad. Make sure to balance green materials (like food scraps) with brown materials (like dry leaves or cardboard) and keep it aerated.

How often should I turn the compost?

You should turn your compost every few weeks to help aerate it and speed up the decomposition process.
