Many people think that because they live in a condo or apartment that they cannot compost. It is true that outdoor bins are quite difficult for condo and apartment dwellers to use, however, there is another option. Vermicomposting, composting with worms, is easy and great for small spaces. Worm bins can be kept on balconies, on small patios, and even indoors. Food scraps, coffee grounds, and paper can be fed to the worms who will turn materials into rich vermicompost, or castings. Castings can be used as a soil amendment and natural pesticide. In addition, worm bins produce worm tea which can also be used to improve soil. You can purchase worm bins or even make your own. So no ifs, ands, or buts… everyone can compost!
