How it works: dual-chamber design

Deposit food and paper waste items at any time, on any day. 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 (see 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 while you add fresh waste items to the upper chamber.




Endless supply of organic compost back to top
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 people often describe as damp wool, sourdough bread, or mushrooms. You can use it immediately, or leave it in a heap outdoors until you are ready to work in your garden.




No odors, bugs, or worms - no kidding!

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, or replenish the carbon yourself about $1.




Good for the garden back to top
Compost is high in nitrogen, which is essential for flowering plants and fruit trees. Use compost on your garden, lawn, shrubs, trees, or indoor potted plants. One batch of compost is sufficient for 10-40 sq ft (1-4 sq m) of a lawn or garden, applied once or twice per year. Or use one batch per mature fruit tree, once per year. Spread over the surface of the soil like mulch -- nutrients will slowly enter the soil during watering and annual tilling. You can infuse with water to brew "compost tea" liquid fertilizer.

Great for the environment!


A NatureMill automatic composter 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 - or about $0.50/month - less than a garbage truck would burn in diesel fuel to haul the same waste. It is made from recycled and recyclable materials.


Its a bit pricey at 450.00 but since my family is vegan it would almost eliminate our landfill use .
Its very convienant and a real space saver which counts for allot on my little beach side lot .
Does anyone have
