Does anyone have a link to a good site that would teach me how to compost on a small scale, or even inside? (is this even done??) the only thing I know about composting is that I should throw my banana peels, coffee grounds and potato peels in a heap outdoors and "stir" it with a shovel occasionally. How long does it take compost to be usable?

I think there is a compost forum here, but usually takes up to a yr to make usable compost. You can also buy special 'bins' to hold it.

I have heard about (but know little re.) 'blender compost' - take fresh kitchen waste, blend and use immeadiately! Not sure if this would be a health hazard though!

Vermicomposting (small container composting with worms) is possible in an apartment or condo. Check out the forum here on Gardenweb. For a good summary, also check out the website below...

You could try this setup; I haven't tried it myself, but it looks interesting.

They have containers for composting of less than a square meter, and it also allows to have natural liquid compost. You can use all rests of vegs, coffe, infusions, newspapers and fruits. The web is www.compostadores.com
