PaulS's Profile

For whatever it's worth, I'm a certified Master Composter here in Alameda County.

I keep flies out of my kitchen compost just be using a two gallon storage container with an airtight lid.

If you need to add carbon to a compost bin then newspaper is a good way. For small apartments, a worm bin is a good alternative to a compost bin.

I don't recommend biobags for home composting. They are biodegradable, but they decompose very slowly except at high temperatures that most home compost bins can't reach. They're really intended to be put into green bins and taken to municipal composting facilities.
