COMPOSTING
We've been composting all our acceptable food scraps, yard waste, etc. for several years. Did you know you can compost cat litter (as long as it is natural)? Meat and fish bones? Not in the same pile you compost your food scraps and yard waste, but it can be done.
Found a great blog with tips on how to compost cat litter: glenbrookzerowaste Got mine set up today and since it was such a beautiful day I turned the regular compost (it's lookin' and smellin' good). The EPA has helpful tips on composting too! Click here.
Tomorrow I will be digging the hole to bury the chicken carcass we had for dinner last night and was used today to make broth. I'll keep you posted on how it works out. Click link for tips on composting meat bones.
I grew up composting but unfortunately we have a very small yard and a compost pile is not possible. Can you suggest a good commercial composter that would be suitable for a small yard?

Here are a couple good resources with information about the different types of bins available:

We have and used the basic compost bin for a few years but I find the pile method easier since we have the space. We are using that bin now to compost our cat litter.
