One naturally believes composting is a bit messy. Yep, it generally is.
However, there’s one type of composting that can be done indoors… without mess, without smell.

Yes, you absolutely can have a worm farm in your nice, clean home.

Worms – specifically, red wigglers (Eisenia foetida) – can eat half their weight daily in food scraps and transform them into nutrient-rich “castings”. Use the castings to boost your garden soil.

Worms will be delighted with your veggie and food scraps as well as coffee grounds/coffee filters, tea leaves/bags, egg shells, shredded paper and cardboard.
They don’t like: grass clippings, salt/salty food, hot spices, meat, poultry, dairy, pineapple.

You can keep your worm farm in a closet. They come with fitted tops so there’s no fear of a massive worm escape.
