DoomsdaysCW<p>A good article... But make sure you sterilize eggshells if you compost them [200 F oven for 30 minutes]. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gardener</span></a> shares step-by-step method for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>composting</span></a> in even the smallest space: 'The tutorial we all needed'</p><p>"The more we all do our part at home, the better off the environment." </p><p>by Jennifer KodrosFebruary 9, 2025 </p><p>The scoop</p><p>"An organization and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> design pro shows how easy composting can be, no matter what size space you're living in. 'You can <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>compost</span></a> even if you live in a small apartment,' Shavonne (@restyleliving) promises at the beginning of her video.</p><p>"Shavonne goes step by step through the process. First thing: You have to start saving food scraps. You can keep them in a bin under your sink or, if you're concerned about the smell, you can always freeze them.</p><p>"Grab an inexpensive bin from the store. Bonus points if you can find one from Goodwill or another secondhand shop. Next, take a drill and create holes about 4 inches apart all over the body and lid of the bin for oxygen. Hot tip — make sure it's not too close to the bottom so that water can't leak out.</p><p>"Now you're ready to fill it up. </p><p>"'Alternate between layers of brown and greens,' Shavonne advises. 'Browns are your carbons, which are leaves or paper products. Greens are your nitrogen or food products.'</p><p>"Anything you can eat can be composted, along with eggshells, paper products, and coffee grounds. You can put the bin in your garage or on your porch.</p><p>"Shavonne says the fertilizer will be ready in three to six months, although worms can help break everything down faster. </p><p>"Warning: Gnats and fruit flies will appear, so make sure you put your bin somewhere that won't become a problem."
