indoor compost?

So, I know all the awesome things that natural compost does for our plants (as well as helping our planet). i was raised by a pack of tree huggers (god bless they're music and smoke) my question is, now that i'm grown, and living in my urban apartment (and cultivating "plants") i still produce a shit ton of organic waste. all my left overs, egg shells and apple cores that i was trained to toss in the compost heap for the garden now go in a plastic trash bag, inside a plastic trash can, untill its full (or stinks) in which time it is hauled to a bigger plastic can outside where it is out of sight, and forgotten about. my question is.... is there a way to compost indoors without harmfull gasses and little to no smell? Rep+ and Double Karma points for any help!

Awsome. thanks delerious. looks like i can pick up a unit for about 60 bucks.

Great. I've been reading up on Bokashi composting. I have EM-1 already. Here's a link with some of the things you can do with EM-1 http://www.emamerica.com/

Great site!. wish more people knew about the benifits. personally, i grow my smoke hydro, but i've got some herbs and veggies in soil in my veg ten. (also garden spring and summer) i read so many posts by people growinginsoil wondering who knows the best nutes for growing, when tha answer is in their trash can.

could you compost in a steal trash can tha has a hole cut in it with an exhaust fan and a dryer duct that way the stinky get expelled outdoors?

a i have a bottle of what would be the best way to use it on weed cuz what i do is use it in water

a i have bottle of em-1 what is the best way to use it with weed

composting indoors sounds messy are you looking for compost for a ground cover or as a tea
th

wtf well the ground coverings have to be baked in the sun for it to breakdown into something usable you also have to water it and turn the pile evey 2 weeks or so
i use the ground covering from ao and wish i had a compost tea maker

You could compost inside but you need the outside bacteria and micro critters to do the decay work. Inviting them into your place might not be good for your health. I'm not sure if any of it is toxic but we are talking about fungi, protozoa,bacteria, nematodes, yeasts, worms and other macros. Vermicomposting is probably a much better idea. Besides, compost piles are hard work. Let the worms do the work for ya.

Those 2 right there should do about everything.

My worm bin cost less than $30 and $23 of that was for the worms. 2 rubbermaid totes completed it.

Never saw the need for $60 bokashi bins. Locally, I got a 50# bag of wheat bran for $12 and a liter of EM-1 for ~$22 shipped. You can expand the EM-1 concentrate to ~30 liters of activated EM. ~30ml of activated EM, ~30ml of molasses and 3 liters of water will activate 10# of the wheat bran.

I add about a small handful of the activated wheat bran in a empty coffee container (the plastic ones with the snap lid), and fill it with suitable kitchen scraps. When full I'll let it sit for a week or 2 then feed it to my worms. BTW, worms seem to love coffee grounds. Usually have 4 or so coffee cans in rotation. The worms also like the activated wheat bran by itself and that gets added as needed as long as you don't overfeed.

This is a very simplistic explanation just to keep it short, but in reality it's still very simple to do.

The worms really make it go, eating all this stuff up and turning it into worm castings before you need to worry about storage or smells or whatever. They also breed like crazy after they mature. My population has grown enough for me to start a second bin as soon as I get off my lazy butt and do it.
