embchicken	Posted - Apr 28 2011 : 3:23:20 PM I do love my kitchen compost bucket. It looks good on the counter, holds a ton of stuff, doesn't smell and is easy to empty and clean. ~ Elaine "Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi Farmgirl sister #2822 http://embchicken.blogspot.com

CMac	Posted - May 01 2011 : 2:15:28 PM I like the filter for things like onion scraps. I'd rather not HAVE to empty it if it is not full. With the filter I can empty it when I plan to go out to the compost or worm bin and not on stinky demand! Some broccoli is really stinky too. What is that about?

gypsy goat	Posted - May 01 2011 : 09:42:37 AM i just use an old covered enamel bowl,dump it ever other day it doesn't smell. do you need a compost jar with a charcoal filter in order for it to do whatever it needs to do? farmgirl#1362 whatever you are be a good one-abe lincoln
Sunflower64	Posted - May 01 2011 : 04:44:52 AM I use a pick pickle jar, it's about a gallon size jar, taller and thinner. I also make my own charcoal filter that I just press into the lid and replace now and then. Works wonderful and didn't cost a dime! If seeing the scraps bothers you, you could paint it I guess, which I haven't done yet.

Oggie	Posted - Apr 29 2011 : 1:30:34 PM Guess I'm the strange one. I use a True Value paint bucket! We do put a coffee filter on the bottom with a little water so that nothing sticks. It cost me about $3.00. Ginny Farmgirl #2343 www.thedewhopinn.com "I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I'm with."

SusanScarlet	Posted - Apr 29 2011 : 11:48:55 AM I use a stainless steel canister that I purchased at Walmart for less than $20. The lid seals really well so there are no odors. I've been really pleased with it.
TeresaJ25	Posted - Apr 29 2011 : 11:19:26 AM What a fantastic idea! I'm going to make myself one of those little containers! Thanks for sharing Brandee! ~Teresa Farmgirl Sister #1348 *Anyone can criticize and complain and predict doom and gloom. Be the person who fills the room with sunshine!
CMac	Posted - Apr 29 2011 : 07:51:38 AM Great idea Brandee! I'm going to make one for when I forget and leave the other one out in the garden after dumping it into the compost. I do this fairly frequently when the garden is in. Can't resist stopping to check the veggies or pick off a few pests.

TeresaJ25	Posted - Apr 28 2011 : 4:57:07 PM I'm guessing I should ditch my mixing bowl (compost bowl) and get one of these!! Much more attractive than a bowl overflowing with kitchen waste!! ~Teresa Farmgirl Sister #1348 *Anyone can criticize and complain and predict doom and gloom.

CMac	Posted - Apr 28 2011 : 4:06:20 PM Mine too. I bought a charcoal filter for an air purifier. It comes in a roll. I cut circles the right size out of it to contain the cost. I can get dozens out of one roll. Those refills are expensive for the compost pail. Connie "I have three chairs in my house: one for solitude, two for friendship, three for company."

embchicken	Posted - Apr 28 2011 : 3:58:34 PM Hi Connie~ Yes it does have a charcoal filter in the lid and it really does work! ~ Elaine "Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi Farmgirl sister #2822 http://embchicken.blogspot.com
CMac	Posted - Apr 28 2011 : 3:27:03 PM I have a similar one and love it to. Does yours have a charcoal filter in the lid? Connie "I have three chairs in my house: one for solitude, two for friendship, three for company." Author: Henry David Thoreau
embchicken	Posted - Apr 28 2011 : 3:25:20 PM I got it at Plow & Hearth. ~ Elaine "Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi Farmgirl sister #2822 http://embchicken.blogspot.com
