Where can I put compost if I don’t have a garden?
I want to compost my kitchen/biodegradeable waste and am going to get a little compost crock to keep in the kitchen. However since I live in a flat, I don’t have a garden to put the compost on once it’s degraded. Any suggestions for what I can do with it?
Have you heard of worm composting? It's an organic gardeners dream. I just bought 1500 red worms and now I am composting all my veggie & fruit kitchen scraps along with newspapers. I doesn't smell at all. The worms eat twice their weight is scraps a day. And they produce the absolute best fertilizer (worm castings) which you could sell at Farmers Markets on the weekends since you don't have a garden. Or put an ad on Craig's list. It's a great way to recycle, reduce carbon emissions and make a little extra money.
Also the worms will reproduce and you can sell them to organic gardeners to start their own worm ranch. .

Get flower pots, or give it to your friends who do have garden plots.

Have you got room for houseplants, or a window box? It might be a bit rich on its own in a pot but you could mix it with peat-free houseplant compost (from a bag) if you were planting something which was a fairly greedy feeder, or you could use it to re-pot a big plant like a Ficus. Or grow salad greens on your windowsill, they'd like the rich organic stuff to grow fast and tender.

I think you could sneak it into your local park at night and pitch it under a plant a little ways off the beaten path, if no local gardener wanted it.

This is a pretty good link and it has a video.
We’ve installed an “Insinkerator” waste disposer under our sink.
This chews up most vegetable matter (it doesn’t whole banana skins or the papery leaves on onions) plus chicken bones, meat, etc.
This is washed down the drains till it reaches the Water board filters where it is collected and sold as compost.
The local Council gives householders a cash hand-out to help them install these.

The answerer who suggested the worm composter is correct. My friend uses one in her back yard but they do need more maintenance than an ordinary compost bin.

If your apartments have landscaping, ask permission to add it to the soil. If not, ask a friend who has a garden, a supervisor at work ( if there is landscaping there), or anyone who lives nearby who has a garden or landscaping.
