We eat a lot of fruit and veggies in our house, which means that we have a lot of scraps left over — banana peels, strawberry stems, carrot tops, and coffee grounds, to name a few — and for the past several years, we've been using an outdoor composter to turn them all into nutrient-rich soil for our garden.
But, it's a pain to use. For one, it's all the way in the back of our yard, it takes a while for the scraps to break down, and it's become an attraction for rodents, who have chewed holes in it to get at the rich bounty inside.
