Gardeners Revolution Upside Down Tomato Planter

Turn fruits, vegetables, egg shells, coffee grounds, grains and more into fresh nutrient-rich organic fertilizer in only two weeks with the cool new NatureMill Plus - Automatic Kitchen Composter ($299). Unlike the those big complicated outdoor compost bins, this unique indoor/outdoor compact unit is simple to use and fully automatic.

Simply toss in all your food scraps and other compatible organic waste at any time, any day, up to 120 lbs per month! The unit mixes the waste every four hours until it is completely ground down into small particles. Then it is heated and aerated for 3-5 days for finishing before being dropped down into the bottom chamber. Don't worry about odors, because it's completely sealed, features continuous air flow, uses a powerful carbon filter and is made of antibacterial plastic.

I predict that automatic compact composters like this NatureMill Plus will be just as common in homes in the future as the recycle bin or garbage can. Just imagine how much food waste you have tossed in the garbage so far in your lifetime. Now multiply that by nearly every human on the planet - EVER! Scary. -

Cool, but I'd rather have the Mr. Fusion from Back to the Future!!

Is having a composter that operates on electric in keeping with a sustainable lifestyle? I know that many facets of green living are pretty much a trade off in this technology based society. We can't have it all.

I just picked up a used naturemill unit yesterday for 50 bucks. I threw a couple handfuls of both dirt and sawdust into it last night along with everything I could find in the kitchen resembling food scraps and let \\\'er rip. You are supposed to let this first batch fester for a full week to get the \\\"cultures\\\" started. I chopped up corn husks, fruit and veggies, as well as some egg shells and flower petals that dropped off my rhoddies in the back yard. The mix seemed a little dry as it first turned over, but from all the reading I\\\'ve done it seems excess moisture is the biggest problem, so a little on the dry side is how it will roll for now.
The previous owned said the unit had problems dumping the finished load. I ran it through a mixing and then dumping cycle before I started and it seemed to do what I expected. This is an early Jan 2007 model, the top opens sideways with a foot pedal. I\\\'m quite impressed with it at first look. It\\\'s very clean and sturdy, appears to be used very little, so we will see how well my fifty bucks was spent in a week or two. If anyone has an owners manual for this early generation model please feel free to give me a holler, I\\\'d like to know what the proper operation of the buttons are as it\\\'s just a common sense issue so far.
Thanks, Paul 7v2d26d

Wow Paul! You got a great deal! You can download the instruction manual from their website naturemill dot com. Now they also recommend adding the pellets more often - you can get those from their website too. That step is fairly important I think. I paid the full $299 and bought it new from Target. It\'s the newer model which opens forward and has much better reviews in terms of the reliability of the transferring mechanisms. I\'ve made half a dozen batches of compost so far but I haven\'t figured out what to do with all that compost yet. It\'s just sitting in a heap in my yard. Surprisingly it does not attract flies or odors or raccoons. It is pretty much dried out. - Rick V.
