composting made sleek

Nature Mill Composters, http://naturemill.comAdmittedly, we have never gotten the hang of composting. We tend to put our food waste in a crazy heap at the back of the yard that we occasionally shovel around, water, and throw more stuff on. Needless to say, not much composting occurs there. We haven’t taken the time to learn how to do it but figure at least it is slowly breaking down in our yard instead of taking up unnecessary room in a landfill and eventually it will be something our soil can use and in the mean time its something our neighborhood of bugs can munch on.

Nature Mill knows there are good intentioned folks like us out there that want to compost but like us haven’t got the hang of it. More likely for most people, they may not have time or room to do it properly or have the misconception that it will be stinky. Forgive me for sounding like an infomercial but I stumbled across their product and am so impressed! Granted, with the economy the way it is now, we can learn how to do it the good, old fashioned way but this is very tempting and for some folks it will be the only way to go. They have created a neat gizmo that takes up to 80 pounds of plant food-scraps per month and turns it into happy, healthy compost ready to nourish your garden by controlling temperature and oxygen levels for optimum decomposition. It runs on very little energy and compost is garden-ready in two weeks. Using compost helps keep your garden healthy, nourishing plants and deterring pests and disease. It is tremendously better than fertilizers and weed killers, that are detrimental to long term soil health and are made from petroleum byproducts.. not exactly a green solution for your homegrown greens! This machine seems like an easy way to get great compost with no questions about what mystery ingredients may be in it. Neat!
