Composter
 |
There is nothing that makes a gardener feel more virtuous than composting. It's good for the environment and the results are gold for the garden. But composting in a city apartment is tricky. The smells, the mess, and the flies are somehow more disgusting in an urban setting where it's not convenient to dash out a couple of times a day to tip the vegetable parings into the compost pile. And if you share an apartment with someone less environmentally dedicated than yourself, indoor city composting is probably where he or she draws the line. So this product, Nature Mill's Automatic Composter, which we saw advertised in Treehugger, seems like a great idea. It's a self contained unit, you just put the material in the top of the machine (it takes meat and fish as well as vegetable matter) and empty the tray full of freshly made compost every two weeks or so. This is not a low budget solution to indoor city composting, but it is much more appealing than a worm bin under the sink- at $399.00- it's worth it if it delivers on its promise. This machine could save marriages!
