If you are a gardener, then you might get tired of figuring out what to do with the leftover vegetable peels and other food scraps that you want to compost, but a kitchen compost crock is convenient and attractive on your countertop.

Just because you like to collect kitchen scraps for composting doesn't mean you have to take a trip outside or store old vegetable peelings in your refrigerator until you have time to take them to the compost pile.

You can get affordable and convenient countertop composters that look like ceramic crocks, yet they are glazed inside and out so they won't stain or hold odors and they have an activated carbon filter that traps the odors so you won't stink up the kitchen every time you open it.

They come in a variety of sizes, styles and colors and you can hold almost a gallon or more before you have to take them out and dump them on your plants, garden or compost pile. If you are looking for the perfect gift for the gardener on your list, an affordable and attractive kitchen compost crock is a great idea.
