Kitchen Composter




This little guy works. Maggie bought it off the interweb for about $80. Holds about 3 gallons. We put all kinds of kitchen scraps in the unit including egg shells, avocado rinds, veggie scraps, etc. Instructions say to put handful of bokashi happy farmer powdered granules into the scraps and agitate with a spoon. This thing was full 1 month ago of big chunks of veggie scraps and a fortnight later, its really decomposing well. The spigot at the bottom is so you can drain any tea that forms in the bottom of the unit. Instructions say dilute 1 tbs. per gallon. Have drained but not added tea to any plants yet.
