Watch NatureMill composting on The History Channel.
This sleek automatic indoor composter turns food scraps into a nutrient-rich mix for your plants in just two weeks. Its powerful carbon air filter and air pump ensure a composting experience free of expected trash odors. The NatureMill Automatic Indoor Composter fits right under your sink (or in any standard cabinet) using about as much energy as a night-light. Fill it up with vegetables, dairy, even meat. Two weeks later your food waste turns into beautiful nutrient rich compost perfect for fertilizing plants or gardens. No worms or bugs. Over time, you’ll divert more than two tons of otherwise-landfill bound waste. Clean, green, easy.

How it works: Deposit food waste items at any time, on any day. Items remain in the upper chamber, with "hot composting" conditions: mixing, air flow, heat, and moisture. The energy released destroys odors, pathogens, and seed germination. The compost is later transferred through a trap door to the lower cure tray chamber, where it continues to compost while you add fresh waste items to the upper chamber. No trash odors, worms, or bugs: Cultures consume waste quickly. Rubber gasket seals the earthly aromas in while closed. When depositing food waste, you may experience a mild aroma similar to sourdough, mushrooms, or damp straw due to composting cultures. Balance the chemistry by adding a small amount of sawdust to increase "brown" content, and baking soda to reduce acidity (both are included). A fan draws air into the machine continuously, providing oxygen to the cultures. A powerful carbon filter removes any lingering odors. Lifetime filter included. Use it anywhere: Fits inside any standard cabinet. Keep it in the kitchen, a garage, or laundry room. Use it outdoors, even in the snow, rain, or freezing temperatures. Keep the power supply dry, using a weather-rated power outlet. Endless supply of compost: Empty the cure tray when the indicator light comes on - roughly every two weeks. More than seventy percent of the initial waste disappears into thin air -- literally -- as compost cultures convert it into water vapor. What's left is a very concentrated compost fertilizer. Fresh compost has a mild organic aroma, which people often describe as damp wool, sourdough bread, or mushrooms. You can use it immediately, or leave it in a heap outdoors until you are ready to work in your garden. Good for the garden: Compost is high in nitrogen, which is essential for flowering plants and fruit trees. Use compost on your garden, lawn, shrubs, trees, or indoor potted plants. One batch of compost is sufficient for 10-40 sq ft (1-4 sq m) of a lawn or garden, applied once or twice per year. Or use one batch per mature fruit tree, once per year. Spread over the surface of the soil like mulch -- nutrients will slowly enter the soil during watering and annual tilling. You can infuse with water to brew "compost tea" liquid fertilizer.

Great for the environment: A NatureMill composter recycles its weight in waste every 10 days, diverting over two tons of waste from landfills over its life. This reduces emissions of methane, a harmful greenhouse gas produced when organic matter decomposes in oxygen-starved landfills. NatureMill is made from recycled and recyclable materials. Energy use is just 5 kwh / month, or about $0.50/month - less than a garbage truck would burn in diesel fuel to haul the same waste. Every NatureMill composter meets or surpasses Energy Star requirements, and the more stringent California Energy Efficiency Level IV.
