Kitchen Composter
I got my two (subsidised) kitchen composters! They are excellent devices, and have several advantages:
- They eliminate my last major stream of waste that goes to landfill (food). Since I am lucky enough to live an an area with a great kerbside recycling scheme, all of my plastic, aluminium and glass gets recycled, and my cardboard gets composted. Since I don’t buy drinks in tetrapaks the only regular thing being binned was my food waste. But no more!
- They generate both high-strength plant food in the form of liquid, and decent compost to dig through my soil. I no longer have to buy potting soil and compost which eliminates an ongoing cost to my gardening efforts.
- They seal off my food waste completely, preventing access to insects that were using my rubbish bin as an easy source of food.
In short, they are useful and efficient devices, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone with a garden. If you live in the UK, you can check to see if you can get subsidised compost bins and kitchen composters at Get Composting.
