Composter Story
Composting is a truly important part of the life cycle. This is especially pertinent when you consider that close to 100% of the food products in urban areas are not composted and end up in domestic trash bags that are deposited in toxic landfills. This situation is an insult to the ‘natural world’ that gives us life. Wasting the material that allows plants to grow (compost) will only end up contributing to the downfall of all life on the planet.
Now that you know why this issue is important, let’s start learning about how we can compost in urban areas. New inventions in composting bin hardware have completely eliminated any problems with creating rich fertilizer in your apartment. Three main problems existed before the advent of new composters: foul smells from decomposing organics, pests like rats, mice and cockroaches treating compost like their private larder and the need to turn and sift through compost for fertilizer. New compost bins are airtight (killing two problems with one stone) and they turn the organic matter and drop soil into a separate and removable tray that gives you only the stuff your gardens or potted plants want.
