Choose a composter that is BPA-free, food-grade, UV-protected plastic, which means you won’t need to worry about harmful toxins, like this one.
Then there is my favorite influencer's blog: Ecological.ly beginners guide to worm composting at home. Here her tips: "Compost is made up of a combination of “browns” and “greens.” Your “browns” are carbon-based items e.g paper, cardboard, newspaper, and dry leaves. Your “greens” are nitrogen-based and are food scraps like stale bread, vegetable peelings, and coffee grounds...A balanced compost requires a 2:1 brown: green ratio...
-
Don’t add meat, dairy, or grease. They tend to smell quite rancid before they break down and can attract pests.
-
Don’t compost onions and citrus. Worms are not fans of citrus, or even slightly acidic vegetables and so I also only add small amounts of leftover tomato.
