compost crock – Crazy About Compost

It’s Kitchen Compost Crock Season Again…

Not having A/C in the house during the warmer months lends to lots of bugs being in the house, and creates a bad situation for kitchen composting. I tend to put my scraps either right in the worm bag or out in the yard, but I never leave them sit out for long in the kitchen.
