Kitchen Compost Bin: Update

Earlier this summer, I reviewed my new countertop compost bin.  I thought I'd give you an update.

The compost bin still sits on my kitchen countertop getting used quite a bit.  The size is nice for our needs.  We empty it every 2 or 3 days.  The only drawback I have is this:  The lid covering that houses the charcoal filter doesn't fit snugly to the bin lid.  This small, 1/16" gap is just wide enough to allow fruit flies to get in or out.  I don't know whether this is a design flaw, materials flaw, or combo of both.  I'm keeping the bin so I closed the gap with regular cello tape since the filter has to be changed every 60-90 days.

For us, it was a good $20 investment.  The longer it lasts, the better the investment.
