How it works: Deposit food waste at any time, on any day. Add up to 120 lbs per month. Items remain in the top chamber, with "hot composting" conditions: mixing, air flow, heat and moisture. The energy released destroys odors and pathogens. The compost is then transferred through a trap door to the lower chamber, where it continues to compost while you add fresh waste above. |
 |
No odors or bugs: Cultures consume waste quickly, without odors. These produce a mild earthy aroma similar to mushrooms or damp straw. Balance the mix by adding sawdust to increase "brown" content, and baking soda to reduce acidity (both are included). A fan draws air into the machine continuously, providing oxygen. A powerful carbon filter removes any odors. |
 |
Use it anywhere: Fits inside any standard cabinet. Keep it in the kitchen, a garage or laundry room. Use it outdoors, even in the snow, rain or freezing temperatures. Keep the power supply dry, using a weather-rated power outlet (available at most hardware stores). |
 |
Endless supply of compost: Empty the cure tray when the indicator light comes on - roughly every two weeks. More than seventy percent of the initial waste disappears into thin air -- literally -- as cultures convert it into water vapor. What's left is a very concentrated compost. You can use it immediately, or leave it in a heap outdoors until you are ready to work in your garden. |
 |
Good for the garden: Compost is a powerful soil-builder, which is essential for healthy plants and trees. Each batch produced will cover 10-40 sq. ft. of a lawn or garden, applied once or twice per year. Spread over the surface of the soil like mulch -- nutrients will slowly enter the soil during watering and tilling. You can infuse with water to brew "compost tea" liquid fertilizer. |
