Without a yard, I cannot compost! So, now what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started doing research looking for solutions. Looking for ways to handle indoor compost, I learned so many methods. Many people practice apartment composting using various methods &#8211; even vermicomposting <em>inside<\/em> a small space. We weren't able to keep a worm bin, like many apartment dwellers, this was against the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I kept looking for the best way to handle compostable food scraps like apple cores and eggshells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is when I discovered this genius solution! So, I reached out to the team at the Foodcycler company for information and received one to test out and am happy to report that it is the answer I was looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The countertop unit is attractive enough to keep in your kitchen, but with a small apartment, I had to make good use of my space. The unit has a filtration system, and the pail is completely enclosed so you can go zero waste without stinking up your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends who have been to my place have seen my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/foodcycler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\">Foodcycler<\/a> in action. They all get a tour of my laundry room where I keep my Foodcyler busy producing fertilizer for my precious aloe vera plants, rosemary, and my son's succulents collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I'm so excited for you all to see this episode. Once you watch the video, you'll understand why we are so thrilled to have found the solution to keeping food out of our landfill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food waste is a serious problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We've been talking about food waste this week. Manuel Bruscas and I discussed the many ways food ends up wasted in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/world-hunger-starving-for-the-truth-with-manuel-bruscas\/\">Healthy Bite Episode: World Hunger &#8211; Starving for the Truth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, I shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/reducing-food-waste\/\">four of the benefits of reducing food waste<\/a>. Hopefully, you are starting to think about making plans for more efficient food prep and shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we are going to talk about <strong>inevitable food waste and what we can do with it to keep it out of the landfill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\"  data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7.jpg\" alt=\"Genius Solution for Those Who Cannot Compost 6\" class=\"wp-image-16849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-7.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I'm talking about banana peels, avocado pits, eggshells, coffee grounds, and other non-edible parts of the foods we prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though these items are biodegradable, sending them to the landfill is not a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Composting is one way to cut back on <a href=\"https:\/\/psmag.com\/environment\/cop24-why-the-simplest-climate-action-you-can-take-is-in-the-kitchen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\">food-related emissions<\/a>.

One solution would be to have a compost bin where everything is neatly contained inside a composter that is kept outside. But that's not always possible, especially when you don't have a yard or your yard is tiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who have the space a DIY composting bin or even a set up using composting worms can produce excellent organic matter to add to a garden. Red wigglers are used to &#8220;recycle&#8221; food scraps into worm castings (poop!) which makes plants grow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can set up your own compost area outside, go for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compost Pile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a compost pile is a wonderful way to deal with food waste for those who have the yard space available. All you need is the space, a shovel, plus the greens and browns to add to the pile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backyard composting is inexpensive and requires very little prep work; it's easy to reap the benefits of a backyard compost pile. Some people find them unattractive, smelly, and inconvenient if it attracts late-night visitors such as skunks and other scavengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A compost tumbler can alleviate some of the inconvenience of the compost pile; however, it's not an excellent choice for those of us living in condos or apartments. Some apartments even have rules about composting. (I'm saving up for a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30vSpz0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">metal composting tumbler<\/a> myself!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you've always put your food waste directly in the trash can, I'd love to challenge you to make a change starting right now. There are many ways to tackle composting. Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nofoodwaste.com\/blogs\/the-foodcycler-blog\/dirty-dozen-12-composting-methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\">top twelve methods of composting<\/a>, plus the pros and cons, as well as how much it will cost. (Don't worry, some options are free!) You can even check your local recycling center to see if they have community composting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By all means, if you can compost, please do so. I understand, however, there are reasons why someone with a backyard still might not want to compost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you cannot compost at home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of us who live in an apartment or condo, composting may not be an option. However, here are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nofoodwaste.com\/blogs\/the-foodcycler-blog\/the-top-five-apartment-composting-methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\">few methods of composting in an apartment<\/a> that you could explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned before, when I moved to an apartment, the first things that bothered me was not having a compost pile. Thankfully, I was able to come up with a solution for my peels, pits, and sad lettuce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foodcycling has been more than I even expected it to be! I've been able to take my food scraps and turn them into <strong>organic fertilizer with a perfect NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium) ratio.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-100238428-14105486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-8.jpg\" alt=\"Genius Solution for Those Who Cannot Compost 7\" class=\"wp-image-16851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-8-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-8-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-8-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-8-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.thatorganicmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/genius-solution-for-those-who-cannot-compost-8.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When my kids eat a banana and throw the peel into the Foodcyler &#8211; out comes <em>potassium<\/em> for my plants!
