Indoor Composter
An indoor composter solves several common problems for many home composters. For one thing, winter is not conducive to composting. Cold temperatures and snow don’t do much for a hot composting heap and who wants to haul waste out into the cold anyway.

Composter Reviews
You can learn a lot from reading composter reviews. I probably learned 1/4 of what I know about composting from the reviews I read when researching which composter to buy. Today I was looking at a review of the old model Worm Factory and read that someone gets a quart of leachate out of it [...]

So far I have mainly researched composting and interacted with other home composters on the Internet, so I’m looking forward to meeting others in my area who are also [...]

Naturemill Home Composter Back on My Radar
Josh Dorfman just recommended the Naturemill Home Composter on an episode of The Lazy Environmentalist. If you are into the environment even a little and you haven’t seen the show, you will want to check it out on the Sundance Channel, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Anyway, in an attempt to convert a chef who cooks [...]
