My composter arrived last week and I immediately put it to use. I was on a mission to gather up table and garden scraps. I had a bit of a problem with flies being attracted to it, but quickly learned that I need to add brown/dry items whenever I add table scraps and cover the food as much as possible. That took care of the problem, for the most part. There’s still a fruit fly or two hanging around, but it’s tolerable. I’ve been adding to it daily, but generally have more greens than browns, so I’ve been adding shredded newspaper to balance things out. I’m anxious for the first batch to be ready. I want to start working on our soil.
