I usually collect kitchen scraps put them in a pot and mix with used soil, let it compost for at least a month and put sprouts in it or trasplant directly. Use everything but onions, garlic and fruits with alot of citric acid (lemmons, oranges, ...). Also mix coffee grounds in it (used) for high N. Coffee grounds usually drop pH drastically so I buffer with CaCO3 to stabilize it.

The sap that comes out can be used as fertiliser.

U won't smell a thing. I kept them in the lower part of my cupboard below growing space. In the beginning you might want to stick to the calendar so the shit doesn't get sour. I just kept layers of scraps, EWC and soil. Cut everything in small pieces. Also everything that's left over of a plant after harvest is being chopped in small pieces and recycled. Stems included. The downside is I need to keep almost double the amount of soil this way so as plants grow in one batch the other batch is cooking.

You already have EWC, so microorganisms are gonna develop and multiply while eating on the sugars from the scraps. You could add some molasses to speed up the development of bennies. Also some seaweed can be added for the micro nutrients and minerals but the variety of veggies in the mix should take care of that already. No need to supplement anything while growing. But cut the compost you made with 50% of the depleted soil to be on the safe side. Some strains might not need all the food that's in the mix and could be a bit hot for let's say heavy sativa leaners. All you have to do is to water with some ACT. Put a table spoon of EWC per liter of water in a panty hose and let it bubble over night. If your plants need some extra Mg use molasses or Epsom. I usually put molasses with EWC and buble it for 12-24 hours to get the bennies going and they'll break down whatever there is in the soil to be broken down. If using mycorrhiza careful with seaweed/kelp so you dont get K toxicity. A little goes a long way.

Compost teas or teas from fresh plants: through the entire veg stage you can use teas made of stinging nettles. Simply collect some tops outside and drop them in the water, have them soaking for 48h. Also all the tops you take from your plants can be put in water to make teas of them. You can also use all sorts of sprouts, anything that's started growing outside to make teas. For flowering take young tops/buds of flowering plants. They got exactly what your flowering plant needs.

I stay right on the coast so sea weed is in plenty full supply.shit stinks though.do i have to wash all the salt water off the sea weed?would ot be a good idea to soak it in fresh water for a couple of hours before adding it to the mini compost tub?if u were useing fresh sea weed what would u do?
Also is the size of tub you use relevant?iv got these wee green tubs with a lid with loads of tiny wee holes on the lid.its actually for putting your food waste in.theyr from the council but theres 2 sizes a wee one about 3/4 ltres or something id say at a guess for in your kitchen and a bigger one about15-20for outside.would the bigger one be big enough?
