And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Amazon says five stars. Anybody have any experience with these?
What do you do with the "stuff" when the thing gets full? Take it outside to the BIG rig right? Why not skip the hassle and eliminate the middle man and it's maintenance, not to mention the counter space.
Frankly, I can't imagine such a thing in my kitchen.
We have a 1 gallon container with an airtight lid in the laundry room which is right next to the kitchen that we use. It was originally purchased at Walmart some 30 years ago for probably less than $10. When full the contents go to the big pile at the far end of the yard, some 200 feet from the house.
Remember, no animal waste products, just vegetation stuffs.
I have a 20 gallon composter that rotates in the back yard. I would NEVER consider having something this pathetically small inside my home. I have seen ads for similar on TV and all both my wife and I can do is LAUGH. If you want to improve your composting, get worms (red wigglers specifically), and add them to your composter. This is just virtue signaling, while doing basically nothing. I produce pounds and pounds of great compost in no time in the back yard, but want to get my scraps OUT of my home before they stink up the place. I can't imagine that something this small actually does anything usefull, or contributes to real compost needs for gardens, etc.
I've got a small stainless steel one in the kitchen that's awesome. It fills up and I take it out to the large bin in the yard. A small one in the house is nice to have.

Yep, the ONLY way to handle waste if you actually want compost. Our container is right next to the kitchen sink.

ReplyDeleteAbsolute waste of money. It probably works fine, but so does nature, especially if you add a handful of worms.
ReplyDeleteNaw. Wouldn’t want to deprive the pet raccoon of the veggies, fruits, and excess cat food!
