Kitchen Composters

This is not the garbage pail of old. This Compost Pail comes with liners to help keep it clean and a charcoal filter to remove any odors that might come from it. If used with the biodegradeable bag liners and the filter you can dump the refuse into your own compost pile or composter in the yard or carry it out to the curb for your local recycling program to compost in their regulated facility.

Buy a Sanitary Kitchen Composter and Start Making Quality Compost at Home

Even if you can't use all the compost you make, composting reducues the volume of organic waste by up to 95% so it cuts down on your trash bill. That's also a lot few trips up and down the stairs if you happen to live in an aprtment building or condo. I would hope that you would find a use for it though. House plants and even the shrubs, trees and plants at your your local park or green will thrive on the compost you make.

Use

Organica's Compost Accelerator contains select microbial species (bacteria & fungi) which accelerate the natural biodegradation process of organic waste. All you need do is incorporate into the pile at the rates recommended on *the label. Turn & lightly water the pile periodically to keep the process going.

  • Contains mesophilic (low temperature) bacteria & thermophilic (high temperature) bacteria, which enables it to be effective under a wide range of climactic conditions
  • Inhibits the volatization of nitrogen, thus creating nutrient rich compost and significantly reduced the odor sometimes associated with composting

  • Accelerates the decomposition of yard and kitchen waste
  • Environmentally responsible, non-toxic and biodegradable
The Envirocycle Compost Tumbler.

"These composters used to come in green or black. The new models for 2010 look like the image to the right."

After some searching we finally found what we believe is a good composter. This is not to say that we feel there is no better composter available. What we mean is, for the money you can spend, these compost tumblers are a great value. They live up to the claims of the manufacturer and they don't cost very much compared to other dynamic composters (ones that have moving parts). The base has rollers in it for the round top to spin on easily. I have had mine for over ten years and it's still as good as when I bought it. They are trouble free.

These compost tumblers have a collection tank as the base for collecting compost tea. Set the envirocycler up in the air a little on a couple of concrete blocks or suitable sturdy stand and you can hook a hose up to the drain plug or drain it directly into a jug, replacing the cap after you drain it.

Mix the compost "tea" with water at 1 ounce to a gallon or three ounces to a gallon and you have your own compost tea for fertilizing garden pants and house plants. Store the extra in a cool place like a basement or closet and it lasts a long time.

Specifications & Notes

  • Carton size & weight: 20.5" D x 26" W x 31.5" H, 23 lbs.
  • Compost Volume: Holds approximately 7 cubic feet of compost.
  • Color: Available in choice of green or black. Choose your color when you check out. Black recommended for northern climates*
  • Operational Guide: View the Envirocycle Operational Guide, in .pdf format
  • Options: Add Compost Accelerator to your order to speed up the composting process.

My Recommendations:

*In the colder months, locate the composter in a sunny spot out of the wind for best performance.

**Keep it in a cooler place out of direct sun during the hot months of the year

***If you create large volumes of compost, having two composters is best. When one fills up, you can start another batch and stop putting fresh material in the first one.

We're sorry but for the time being this popular item is no longer avaiable. The company who distributes these in North America changed hands last year and they seem to be having trouble getting up to speed on delivery and reliability. If the situation changes for the better we will list this product again. This is too bad too because this is a good product and the new, brown ones you see have some significant improvements in the design. We'll update this page with good news if we get some.
