Your Advanced Composting Questions, Answered.
Optimizing your urban composting setup requires specific knowledge. Here are answers to common questions from our power users.
To deter fruit flies, ensure you bury food scraps beneath a bedding layer (like shredded paper or coco coir) and avoid overfeeding your worms. You can also add a thin layer of dry bedding or a sheet of damp newspaper on top of the food scraps.
While small amounts of citrus peels and onion scraps can be added, they are best introduced sparingly. Their acidity and strong compounds can be unappealing or even harmful to worms in large quantities. Bokashi composting is a better alternative for these items.
Compost tea is a liquid fertilizer made by steeping finished compost in water. To make it, place a handful of finished compost in a porous bag (like a coffee filter or old sock), submerge it in unchlorinated water for 24-48 hours, and then use the nutrient-rich liquid to water your plants.
In balcony composting, 'greens' are typically food scraps and 'browns' are shredded paper, cardboard, or dry leaves. Aim for a 1:2 ratio of greens to browns by volume. This ensures good aeration and prevents your pile from becoming too wet or odorous.
Absolutely, provided you only compost organic, non-contaminated materials. Well-managed compost is a fantastic, safe, and natural way to enrich the soil for your edible balcony garden, promoting healthier fruit and vegetable growth.
