Yoda gave me a composting bucket as a Christmas gift. Made in England, this is meant for collecting kitchen scraps that are headed for the heap. It has a charcoal filter on top to minimize odors and a handle for easy carrying. Since I don't have a backyard, but instead will be composting in miniature in 2 liter bottles, my new bucket will hold finely chopped vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and ground egg shells before making the journey to the patio and into a 2 liter bottle. I am hoping the scraps can be stored for a week without stinking.
I purchased a 3lb bag of Miracle-Gro Organic Choice bone meal at Target for $4.18. It is graded 6-9-0 and is labled "proudly made in the USA". This will be added to the compost in minute amounts.
