Hi, my name is Tyler and I’ve been obsessed with sustainability ever since I climbed in my first dumpster two decades ago. It’s no secret that I’m crazy about composting, and it’s probably not surprising that I live for all things sustainable, including teaching others how to reduce waste. I feel that it is integral for us as a society to develop a sustainable culture for our future generations to inherit, and I’ve found you can have a lot of fun doing it.
Coaching is a great passion of mine that blossomed when I started serving in the healthcare field in 2005. Through my work, I’ve been able to help others develop sustainable culture, save millions of dollars (really!), and reduce their impact on the environment.
Designing and implementing compost programs is a favorite of mine, but I also specialize in helping clients become more efficient through creating comprehensive recycling programs. Nothing feels better than helping others figure out how to make less waste, one piece at a time.

I have question. I just built a flow through worm bin and I painted the inside boards because I used untreated wood. I’m wondering if this will hurt my worms. I still have time to change these boards out. Can you help.
Thank you
Hi, I would leave the wood unpainted for best results… a non-toxic finish would work well.
Hi Tyler, I have a very small space available to accommodate a compost bin, but have loads of vegetable waste which I hate throwing away. And although I have a small garden, I love gardening and am desperate to make my own compost. Used to have a Jora tumbling composter, but these are so expensive if brilliant. What would you recommend please? I feel overwhelmed by all the products in the market. Thanks
Hi Joanna,
I’m curious- what happened to the Jora? I’ve never had one, but they look pretty sturdy?
Composting efforts work best in pairs, unfortunately… totally agree that tumblers are expensive, let alone having two.
Ideally, the process should be: add to 1st bin until it fills up. add to 2nd bin until it fills up. 1st bin now finished.
Best option is a cubic yard sized compost bin if you can swing it- I use a pair of Geobins. They’re not aesthetically pleasing, but they’re cheap and they work.
The next best option is using two large trash cans with holes drilled in them- I have a few videos on my Youtube channel about this method. Cheap to get started, and the results are just OK. Definitely requires either a pitchfork or an aerator to keep the bottom contents from getting soggy.
Lastly, if the idea of worms/vermicomposting is interesting to you, a Worm Factory does a good job indoors to handle your food scraps as well. They take a bit more effort to manage, but this method definitely works with some practice.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and feel free to shoot me an email as well. Thanks!
