Indoor Composting - How it Works

How it works - sealed inner chambers
No more emptying the compost crock, or mixing the compost bin. Just add food and paper items at any time, on any day. For best results, cut items into small pieces, and add a tablespoon of baking soda to balance acidity. Waste remains in the sealed inner reactor, where the computer controls mixing, air flow, temperature, and moisture (see diagram). The energy released produces "hot composting" conditions, eliminating odors, pathogens, and unwanted seed germination. The compost is later transferred through a trap door to the cure tray, where it waits until emptied. |

Endless supply of organic 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 compost cultures convert it into water vapor. What's left is a very concentrated compost fertilizer. Fresh compost has a mild organic aroma, which most people describe as damp wool, sourdough, or mushrooms. You can use it immediately, or leave it in a heap until you are ready to work in your garden. |

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). |

No odors, bugs, or worms - no kidding!
Composting takes place inside a sealed inner reactor chamber. Once compost cultures are established, they consume waste quickly without odors. A small fan draws air into the machine continuously, providing oxygen to the compost cultures. As an added safeguard, a powerful carbon filter removes any lingering odors. Replace the filter every 4-5 years ($8 online, or about $1 if you buy the carbon yourself). |

Good for the garden
Use compost on your garden, lawn, shrubs, or trees. Spread over the surface of the soil like mulch -- nutrients will slowly enter the soil during watering and annual tilling. Compost is also wonderful for indoor plants. You can also infuse with water to brew "compost tea" liquid fertilizer. |

Great for the environment
NatureMill recycles its weight in waste every 10 days, diverting over two tons of waste from landfills over its life. This reduces emissions of methane, a harmful greenhouse gas produced when organic matter decomposes in oxygen-starved landfills. Compost returns nutrients to the environment, reducing our need for chemical fertilizers. NatureMill uses 10 watts of power - less than a garbage truck would burn in diesel fuel to haul the same waste. It is made from recycled and recyclable materials. |
