Indoor composting system for apartment dwellers like myself. Still not sure if it would fit in our tiny apartment kitchen, but it’s got me thinking about possible options for composting in small spaces. The Forest City has not adopted “green bins, so it’s one more hurtle to overcome living in an apartment and trying to live a wastefree lifestyle.
Compost & Grow Food Indoors With “Parasite Farm” By Charlotte Dieckmann & Nils Ferber : TreeHugger
“A living ecosystem of worms, sowbugs and bacteria are invited to this table. They are a part of the digestive system that starts with a person discarding food leftovers and shredded paper into the portal at the top. The bacteria and sowbugs begin breaking down the waste and the worms soon join in to further digest it into a rich compost that sprinkles out of the bottom of the fabric bag that hangs beneath the table. This compost is used as a fertilizer for plants, such as those at the base of the table.”
People are getting so creative with worm composting! This is very cool.
