Indoor Composting Tip: Blend Down Your Food Scraps

A great indoor composting tip that I got from one of my grandmother's friends is to put the food scraps in a blender before putting into the compost.

This helps to break the food down and makes it easier to break down in the compost.

You can put lettuce leaves, fruit peels and anything soft that the blender will break down. Stay away from pits or anything that will get stuck in the blender.

The scraps are then put into the composting bin and covered with shredded newspaper and old potting soil.

Use some worms in that compost in side ok schools have them they teach the kids with ... all the food scraps  go to them they have a few bins for their gardens... Waste not a thing...if you have a screen for the top that will go so far the worms will crawl to that level to break down the waste while living in the worm castings...

@Noramaeful I now have a worm bin. Still need something else too. I have lots of food scraps.
