Compost Bin Liners (OR: My Husband is a Genius)
So, Paul and I have been talking about our compost bucket.
Yes, you read that correctly. :-)
See, right now we're using a big old 4L plastic ice-cream bucket as our sink-side compost bin.
Which is great, except that it gets pretty gross every now and then.
So. Paul had this absolutely brilliant idea (which I will write down and mail to us just to make sure, because it's really *that* genius!) of making compost-bucket liners.
Basically, you take a ~4L galvanized steel bucket (or an ice-cream tub, although a receptical that tapers at the bottom would make the liners easier to stack.
Anyway.
Basically, I would be taking this bucket and making paper-mache liners (~4 sheets thick w/ a double-thickness bottom, say) -- that way, the bucket itself would stay fairly clean and the liners would be totally biodegradeable *and* would contribute Dry Stuff to the compost itself, thus helping to keep it balanced and non-stinky. :-D
Isn't he brilliant??? :-D
