Hi,
my girlfriend is into gardening now and she asked me to get a rubbish composter for her plants. So, Can you please recommend me a rubbish composter that is suitable to use in an apartment? we have a little concrete front yard but not garden. budget could go up to 100 dollars i am thinking.
I am in Canberra by the way, but happy to order online too.
Are you talking about a composter for your household rubbish - or for garden waste?
Might want to look at Bokashi composting.
I think food waste to compost but to use in the garden after composting. Not sure if this makes sense.
just read the budget component after posting.
I'm looking at the Joraform composter ~$800 for 270L capacity.
There is a half capacity version for $500.
Main reasons why I'm contemplating something 4x the price of Bunnings is:
1. Steel construction. I intend to leave it very exposed. If it is kept sheltered… Vermin.
2. Raised. Vermin
3. Sturdy axles. The cheap ones doesn't really have bushings/bearings. It's closer to a staked barrel.
Also, it has detailed and longitudinal reviews.
For $100, Bokashi as per blaircam. It's the most fun but won't do large volume.
I have a Bokashi bin, the issue is you need to bury the waste for a couple of weeks before it turns into composted mix for the garden.
I also live in an apartment and use my Bokashi bin to divert organic waste from landfill. I don't have much of a use for the fermenter product so I drop it off at a local Community Garden
Amazing how you guys do that in an apartment. I did a short stint in one and the mess is so hard to control. Looked like a pigsty in no time.
In a bucket with a lid under the sink. It isn't messy for me, you need to drain out the liquid and dispose of that regularly
Why would OP want a dead goat?
Not sure about Canberra, but in Sydney there are some councils who every now and then run composting workshops and afterwards give you a voucher for half price compost bin
Maybe worthwhile checking your local council (website) to see if they offer that
What about a good composter?
Nope, the OP wants one that is absolute trash.
Bokashi Bin and a worm farm
Try Compost Revolution as your local council might subsidise them.
The Compost Revolution worm farms are small. Possibly too small as we run 2 of them at my GFs and I still take stuff to my place for my Tumbleweed Worm Cafe which is a great worm farm.

we have a little concrete front yard but not garden.
Anyone else a little confused?
sorry she is into concrete frontyarding.
Aldi usually sells the tumbler composter. It isn't large & you are able to spin it so it should be good for your area.
Check out bunnings as well. They have a good range, the majority will be too large for your area. They also sell the compost bins that stand up which may not be ideal for you.
