Compost Pails That Look Nice and Don't Smell
Fruit flies abound in my kitchen this morning- why? I have not committed to an in house compost bucket and so I have scraps of compost in bowls and plastic containers. Once I get tired of fruit flies in the house, I put the containers on the back porch- where my little problem becomes a big hassle.
Dreaming the perfect counter- top compost pail:

The copper compost bucket with biobags for easy removal is my top pick. It’s available from the Gardener’s Supply Company and I like it because it looks nice.

I am torn though, I also like this white plastic compost pail and my friends who have similar ones rave about how odor free it really is.
Today I am deciding between compost buckets and getting rid of fruit flies. I’d also like to take a walk in the woods and maybe I’ll pick some fall flowers or bring in some colorful leaves for our season table.
What are you doing to solve the simple problems in your life? What do you recommend for a compost bucket?
