/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Ferment your fruit scraps into wine.

>>1348291
I rarely have any fruit scraps, I mean I eat apples sometimes and leave the core, but it isn't much.. is it possible to freeze the cores one at a time and then use a whole lot of them? And what if the core becomes brown if I eat the apples out of the home, that will probably change the flavour and suitability of the cores..

you need to find yourself a bird, mate

>>1348302
I know birds eat that stuff, but it is not an option for me unfortunately, love birds tho

>>1348288
You can do worm boxes inside. Theyll eat your scraps.

>>1348288
Look into local community gardens. They all universally have a compost pile you can contribute to.

>>1348326
I'd rather not have worms inside my apartment..

>>1348356
Hm, this is an option, should look into it..

>>1348384
too bad because they're great food recyclers and worm shit is an excellent, stronk fertilizer
they dislike light and they won't even want to leave their home if you keep conditions in it healthy
look up Mary Appelhof for more on vermicomposting

>>1348400
If I had a bigger apartment, somewhere to get some worms and somewhere to put the fertiliser afterwards I would consider this..

>>1348288
I know many people who keep a compost bin int heir apartment. So long as it is vented properly and you don't put meat into it, the odor isn't bad, just "spicy". You can also make a biomethane digester. That will take all your organic waste and turn it into biomethane and high nitrogen fertilizer. Just pasteurize the fertilizer using extra biomethane before using it on food crops.

The best idea may be this >>1348356 since it cuts out all work for the OP except whatever is needed to give it to people who want it. The energy in the food won't go to a landfill and will be put back into the food production cycle this way.

Worms and Black Solider Flies (BSF) are great. The BSF compost stuff faster than worms and you can freeze the larva for later use for feeding chickens or whatever. Both methods are just simple compost containers, but look up farming both for the specifics. Another way is to feed it to chickens in the first place, but I don't see that happening in your apartment.

Build a gassifier, and convert the food scraps into green energy

You could probably turn most peels into candy

>>1348288
Was gonna say worms but not in an apartment. Get a food processor and just send it down the shitter? Oposite of recycling but no more smelly food trash.

>>1348400
Can confirm. A bro tossed half a coffee can of earthworms in my yard. I always just toss scraps out the back door and toss dirt on the shit that starts smelling. Have to mow my yard fucking twice a week. Left the back last year. Had to take a straight shaft with plastic blades knee high and then run a 0 turn at 1mph.

>>1348410
Kek. I still say flush it down the shitter

>>1348410
Don't really have space for a compost unfortunately.. and Yeah, I am not gonna create a chicken-pen in my living room, doesn't seem likely kek

>>1348439
Seems like it can take up quite some place, and I wouldn't know what to do with the fuel

>>1348487
Sounds fun

>>1348510
My trash doesn't smell, so that is not the problem, and flushing it down the toilet is similar to just throwing it away, I want to use the food scraps somehow instead..

>>1348511
Would do this if I had a garden

>>1348513
yeah no, then I will waste water also..

>>1348923
What sort of solution were you expecting?

>>1348288

>>1348957
> I POSTED IT AGAIN XDDDDDD

>>1348967
If only apartment dwelling was included I've have a bingo already.

>>1348968
So you actually do know how bingo is played, and yet you post unfilled and non-winning cards?
I've never seen anyone win that faggot bingo, and even after your hard-earned win you're just supposed to hide the thread instead of posting that shit.

>>1348976
>I've never seen anyone win that faggot bingo
the entire point of bingo is that it's hard to fill a full line. a full line denotes a SERIOUSLY bad thread, whereas just hitting a lot of spaces is more or less just typical online low quality

>>1348988
>the entire point of bingo
..is to prove that you are even more of a shitposter than the thread you are replying to, while also demonstrating that you have the self control of a 7 year old.

Minimise the thread and let it 404, not hard.

>>1348976
>dis level of butt blasting over a bingo game

One more to add.

>>1348288
>apartment

There's the problem. You should really stop being a renter. You could use that money you drop to someone else's children and instead spend it on things directly related to you. If you still want "small" you can buy a small trailer and build a cutesy little house on it. Then you can take it literally anywhere, even right next to your work location. You'd wake up already at work. How fucking cool would that be? You can also do guerilla gardening by composting your refuse, forming it into balls with seeds in the center and chucking it into abandoned lots with soil. A couple months later you come by and reap the harvest without need for much work at all on your part.

>>1348302
My bird just throws that shit out. But she makes a mean lasagna and looks good in a nightie, so who cares?

>>1348288
feed the chickens
they like the outside of the watermelon and apple peels and

>>1349009
Yeah, I fucking hate that bingo.
It's the dumbest, lamest trolling-on-training-wheels for faggots who can't come up with anything on their own - not even a new bingo card.

>One more to add.
You missed free energy, faggot.

BUT WAIT!!!!: >>1349011 BINGO!!! BINGO!!! BINGO!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!

You may now hide the thread.

Here's what i try to do on a regular basis:
1) Banana peels: i dehydrate them, then run them through my blender. I store that powder in a 250ml mason jar and use it by sprinkling a little in the soil of whatever plants I'm growing before watering.
2) Egg shells: i give them a rinse then let them dry out. Then just as i did the banana peels, i blend them and put them in a jar for later use in soil as a booster.
3) Vegetable scraps: put the scraps in a pot, add water, boil until it looks like broth. Strain into jars, cool then store in a cupboard.
4) The rest: compost it.

There are a hundred ways to grow vegetables in an apartment, even without a balcony available. You could, with a little effort, be growing potatoes, garlic, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, peas, so many fucking things.

>>1349182
Forgot to mention: compost, if done right, doesnt give off a bad smell. If your compost smells gross or rotten then youre not doing it right. My compost smells earthy and sweet. Pleasant even. A five gallon bucket with proper air flow, moisture and heat will give you great compost. Toss a handful of worms in it and youre got really fucking nice soil.

>>1348934
Most of these solutions are good, but I cannot implement most of them.. I was just looking for different alternatives, nothing in specific

>>1349011
yeah probably, however I cannot move from my apartment at this moment so I will have to solve it some other way

I like the proposition of using things to feed plants, I do not currently have any plants because of space limitations but this is a really good idea. Even if I got some plants I am not sure that I would be able to use most of my waste this way since each plant would require such small amounts in relation to what I would produce from my waste.. Compost is also only relevant if I have something to do with the fertilisers

>>1349011
The fuck

>is it possible to freeze the cores one at a time and then use a whole lot of them?

Yes, although normally for wine you're gonna be using skins and flesh, not so much random cores. Just keep a baggie in the freezer and add to it every chance you get. Make sure you remove the seeds as they're no bueno.

>>1349011
I like the discrete swastika.
