NatureMill Automatic Odorless Composters : Clean, Green, Easy

No odors, bugs, or worms - no kidding! Deposit food and paper waste items at any time, on any day. Nature Mill will do the rest! > Can be used indoors or out > Plugs into any standard ac outlet > Uses only 10 watts of electricity! Dual-Chamber Design For best results, cut items into small pieces. Items remain in the upper chamber, where ideal "hot composting" conditions are maintained: mixing, air flow, heat, and moisture (click diagram). The energy released destroys odors, pathogens, and seed germination. The compost is later transferred through a trap door to the lower cure tray chamber, where it continues to compost. Meanwhile, you continue to add fresh waste items to the upper chamber - and the cycle goes on. Technically Speaking Once compost cultures are established in the first few days of operation, they consume waste quickly without odors. A small fan draws air into the machine continuously, providing oxygen to the compost cultures. A powerful activated charcoal carbon filter removes any lingering odors. The filter is included with the unit, but it must be replaced every 2-3 years as odors develop. You can purchase a new filter from us ($10), or replenish the carbon yourself about $1. Enjoying the Benefits 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 compost cultures convert it into water vapor. (Amazing, right?!) What's left is a very concentrated soil fertilizer -- aka compost. Fresh compost has a mild organic aroma, which people often describe as damp wool, sourdough bread, or mushrooms. You can use it immediately, or collect it in a heap outdoors until you are ready to work in your garden. Cost Savings Save money on fertilizer. Less watering due to high moisture retention of compost. Reduce trash enough to qualify for a discounted trash collection rate. Contact your trash company for details.
