Can I start a compost bin without having to use the actual compost?
I live in a rental property so we aren't allowed to grow a veggie garden, but I'd like to start a compost bin to get rid of left over vegetables and fruit etc. Can I make a compost bin without having to actually use the compost on my garden?

Yes of course you can. But do you have a place to put a composter that won’t kill the lawn and upset your landlord?
And what will you do with the compost once you have it? Do you have a friend who can use it in their own garden?
Or maybe you can use it in planters or if you have a flower bed in front of the house?
If you are into gardening, why don’t you look up “squarefootgardening.com” It just might get you excited to do some gardening. That way you can use the compost you are making.You will be supprised at what you can grow in a very small space.
You can always spread it around the lawn. It’s just as good for grass, shrubs and trees as it is for veggies.
Sure you can! If you’re allowed to grow things in pots, you can even sprinkle some of it on the top of your potting soil, to give your plants a bit of extra nutrition. Your only problem is that your landlord or building management people might object to the bin or pile itself, if it’s somewhere where they notice it.
If there’s a craigslist or freecycle for where you live, you could post there and see if anyone wants your compost once it’s done. I’m sure there are loads of gardeners in your area who would love some free compost.
