Oh you read me correctly. I use a water gun. Whenever I empty out my kitchen compost pail into one of my balcony composters I clean the sides with a water gun. The original idea came from when I emptied the pail at my parents house I took a hose to it afterward. Well, I don’t have a hose, but I do have a water gun:

So I figure why not use it? Add some spice to the composting mix, in fact whatevers left from the pail I transfer to a watering vase to give those nutrients directly to my plants! I also do that on flips from my Simple Style Composter. It’s basically just a weak form of compost tea! Ah the wonders of water guns…
