The Composters Are Here

We are only about 2 weeks from finishing the first phase of homes in Good and that means we are going to be installing the Naturemill kitchen composter soon. They all arrived yesterday and I quickly brought one of them home to try it out.

Its an amazingly well built little machine. I was surprised to see that the whole thing was made out of a type of high density styrofoam. But after trying it out I can see that its design is thought out perfectly.

Last night we took all the scrap veggies from the Thai soup we made and took some of the.. seen better days, leftovers out of our fridge and dumped them in.

This morning I woke up and found this inside.

It literally took a bunch of food and made almost perfect dirt out of it overnight! I have no idea how it does it so fast.

I spoke with Josh from Green Sacramento yesterday and he is going to be looking into carrying them at the store. I am going to post on here when he has them in stock, now that I have seen it in action I think every kitchen needs one.

    That is pretty amazing - my compost pile doesn’t look half as broken down, and it’s been sitting outside for over a year and it really stinks.

    I am having a hard time believing that in just one night anything could have decomposed that much. Does it have a jet engine inside crisping the food and them blending it up? Sign me up for one. Please do let us know when Green Sac starts carrying them.
