- I don't compost yet, but I'd like to soon! It's one of the areas we're lacking in "going green" right now, but hopefully come the spring we'll be able to. Great lens, thanks for the information!

- Nice source of tips for the beginning garden composter. I came across your site in my research. It seems that there is a composting application for just about everyone in every situation, including mine.

- Worms are great for composting. To keep fruit flies at bay you should wrap your waste in newspaper (or something similar) before you put it in the composter - if the flies can't get to the surface of the waste they go away.
Hair (human or animal) can be added to the compost, but it takes a long time to break down. Make sure it's well mixed in with the other ingredients.

- What are your thoughts on using worms in the compost? It has to be kept inside, but is there a way to keep the fruitflies at bay?

Also, I have thought about putting human and dog hair (I have two dalmatians, thus TONS of dog hair) what do you think?

- I like the idea of coffee flavored compost! A great lens - composting is so easy and anyone can get involved to make a difference to the environment.

- Hi Eric, thanks for stopping by! I have been composting with worms for years. I have two worm composters (a Can-O-Worms and a Waste Juggler) and thoroughly enjoy vermicomposting!

- Very good info here. Thanks for sharing. I wasn't sure from reading if you have used worms for composting or not. What experiences have you have with Vermicomposting ?
