With reducing waste becoming more and more popular (yay!) we often hear that items or packaging are biodegradable. What’s not always clear though is what that really means, and whether it is actually better. Today I thought I would shed some light on all that, and I’d love your thoughts as well.
Last week I shared a how to guide on disposing household items so today I wanted to continue on that theme and talk compost! If you’ve ever wondered ‘Can I compost that?’ then today’s guide is for you!
As I mentioned at the end of my post on compost options for apartment dwellers, I decided to go with a Bokashi Bucket to deal with any food waste in my little apartment. Well, I’m happy to say it arrived on the weekend so I thought I’d share how it works in some more detail now that I have one in my hot little hands!
Now that I’ve moved into an apartment for the first time there are lots of things I have to learn how to do differently. Up until now I’ve been in houses with either compost bins or worm farms (or sometimes both!) in the backyard so we could easily dispose of any food scraps but I wasn’t sure what I could do in my apartment, so I set about doing some research and thought it might be a good idea to share!
