Did anyone see Oprah yesterday and her Earth Day Special? We happened to catch a moment where Julia Roberts was fluffing the compost.

Composting is something we can totally get behind. Gramma always had a compost pile to help feed her enormous garden and she was strict about what went into it. Now that we have a small garden we've been thinking about adding a compost pile to help reduce the amount of food scraps that go to the landfill and to motivate us to spend more time outside. We're considering Vermi Composting with Can O Workms Household Composting System which we could also keep inside since the worms help control the odor and the box itself is pretty compact.
There's also a composting workshop happening this weekend at the Griffith Park Composting Center where you can also pick up some free compost.
Do you already compost? Do you have a small space solution or composting system that works in an apartment?

There's a video on apartment vermicomposting that involves a low-tech plastic bin with small holes drilled into it.

Aesthetically, the Can-o-Worms isn't that pleasing to me. And where would you put it? It looks large and cumbersome and certainly wouldn't fit under the sink.
Check out some reviews of other worm bin kits (or you can always make your own): http://www.wormdigest.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=67&Itemid=2

Get a NatureMill and plug it in under the sink. Voila! Stink-free compost.
