What is a Composter?
A composter is a container used for composting. Composters come in a range of shapes, sizes, and styles, depending on the environment they are being used in, and many hardware and home supply stores sell composters. Building a composter is a relatively easy thing to do, for people who prefer to make their own. In some areas, it is also possible to get a composter through a city or county garbage agency, if the regional government is trying to encourage composting. The smallest composters are designed to fit on a counter or in a kitchen for urban use. Larger composters are meant to be installed in the garden, and they have much more total volume for composting. It is also possible to find compost bins which cannot be used for composting, but can be used to store compostable items until someone has time to take them to the larger composter. In order to be effective, a composter has to provide drainage and air circulation, to promote the breakdown of the food scraps inside. Many people am
Sometimes I feel like my computer is a composter………….. A composter is where you can put kitchen scraps and yard debris such as leaves and grass clipping and let them decompose into…..compost. Then you can add the compost to your plants and yard as a nutrient-rich top dressing. I figure I spend up to $1.00 a pound for my fruits and veggies and now at least those $1/pound scraps will do me some good. Maybe cut down on plant food, make my plants and yard healthier, too.
