Compost Bowl

My compost bowl. Rachel Ray has a "garbage bowl" that is sold for $7-$17. This bowl is just a fancy name for a bowl to hold scraps while you are cooking. I re-invented this concept with my $1 lidded bowl from the Dollar Tree. I fill it with my coffee grounds, veggie garbage, and leafy scraps. When it gets full I bring it out to the compost bin.

Ding! Problems solved.

It's all you need and the price can't be beat!

I laughed when I saw that Rachael Ray was really selling her bowls for so much money. It's just a bowl! When I'm cooking I just grab a plastic bowl and use that.

Our 'compost caddy' is an old ice-cream tub!

How about an old, gallon sized, ice cream bucket with a lid under your sink?

Hmm . . now if only I actually cooked anything I'd have something to fill it with . . . .

I use a ice cream pail.
If you think RR selling her bowl is something go to an acution. They sell them bowls for over $50. I have one from my grandma.

I have a bucket that has a lid and it's the worse thing ever for kitchen compost. I think I'm going to get one of those.
