Want to learn how to turn your food scraps into compost?
Check the quick video above where I show you the pros and cons of the top three composting methods out there- the compost bin, compost tumbler, and trash can composter.
Each of these can quickly turn your food scraps into healthy soil to add to your garden.
If you’re like me and you don’t have space for a garden, you still reap the benefits of cutting back on what goes to the landfill- nearly 50% of landfills consist of organic materials that can be composted!
If you’re looking to keep your costs down and space is limited, here’s how to compost using just a trash can:
If you’re looking for something a little nicer than a pair of trash cans with holes in them, you might like a compost tumbler.
I’ve been using a compost tumbler for a long time, and they do a great job although they function a little differently to the trash can method.
Check out this video below to see how to compost with a tumbler:
While compost tumblers are neat and tidy, they can get expensive and take some practice to master.
However, if you have the space for a good ol’ compost bin, this is by far the best way to go.
If you like to cook a lot or have a bigger family, the compost bin’s capacity is unrivaled.

Composting Horse Manure in a Bioreactor – One Year Later
Diego’s follow-ups on bioreactor videos are always going to be a treat- he runs great experiments and no-turn composting is my kind of composting.
I’m not a big fan of staging a compost pile off the ground- I get the pest concerns and minimizing amibitious roots from stealing nutrients, but I don’t worry about the airflow since this is a long term effort of at least a year or more.
I’d rather let the pile be in contact with the ground to maximize the incoming soil biology to help work on the contents and deal with the stringy roots later.
Not surprisingly, horse manure made great finished compost and was loaded with worms. I’m always happy to see an explosion of worms in my piles- it’s a good indicator that my pile is working just fine and I’ll have crumbly sticky compost later.
The bioreactor is basically just a larger version of a Geobin compost bin– down the line when I have a bigger yard, I will certainly be upgrading to this size for my composting efforts.
