Hi-Tech In-Kitchen Composter download the consumer products brochure

NatureMill brings composting to the home user. It is essentially a miniature in-vessel system. Waste is collected right where it is generated—in the kitchen. A computer controls the temperature, air flow, moisture, and mixing to accelerate the process and eliminate the backbreaking work. Everything is fully self contained in a modern, attractive container. There is no need to handle and transport the rotting material. Best of all, NatureMill provides home gardeners with a source of rich, organic fertilizer. And there is something uniquely satisfying about witnessing the entire food chain: from the garden, to the dining table, and back to the garden again.

Engineered to be the Best

NatureMill is UL and CE compliant, and runs on very low electrical current. There are no worms, flies, chemicals, grinders, high voltages, or scalding temperatures involved. The lower door is sealed tightly. The overall weight and height are such that a pet or small child cannot easily knock it over or otherwise tamper with it.

What Can I Put in My Composter?

Deposit almost any biodegradable materials. Cut or shred materials into small pieces to aid in composting. Add a mix of "green" and "brown" items for best results. All of this information is listed in the instructions. Add a tablespoon of ordinary baking soda now and then to reduce normal food acidity.

With experience, you will get a feel of what composts well and what does not. A good rule of thumb is that any material that you can recognize in the final compost should be avoided in the future, or cut in smaller pieces first. Note that certain materials, such as meat, fish, and dairy, can be used in NatureMill (unlike in backyard compost piles where rats, raccoons, and bears can be a problem).

Some items compost better than others. Coffee grinds decompose easily. We have had mixed experiences with very dense items, such as very stale bread or hard candy. When in doubt, add just a little and then check the end result carefully!

Automatic Mixing

NatureMill takes care of mixing for you. There is no manual labor required. A small electrical motor mixes the compost, which breaks up clumps, compacts the waste, and improves air flow. The computer controller determines the frequency and duration of mixing. Periodically you may hear the motor turn.

Add Cultures Only Once!

Add cultures just once to begin the natural compost reactions. The compost cultures regenerate indefinitely inside the machine, so there is generally no need to add the cultures again.

The best source of cultures is ordinary "living" soil from your own local environment. It's free! Soil from your garden, a nearby park, or roadside is ideal. Add two cups (500 ml) of healthy soil. Use uncontaminated soil where healthy plants normally grow. Cold, frozen, or wet soil is ok.

We have tested a number of commercially available cultures, but they are not as reliable as natural living soil. Dried and processed cultures, while available at most garden stores, are often weakened due to temperature and moisture fluctuations in transit.

Using the Composter

Composter PLUS Edition

You can add waste items at any time, on any day. Processing is continuous and automatic. Remove your rich, organic fertilizer roughly twice per month, depending on actual usage. A red indicator light will tell you when. You will save garbage-emptying trips, since your regular kitchen trash will diminish in quantity and odors. Seventy percent or more of the initial waste material disappears into thin air - literally - as the compost cultures break down the waste material and produce pure water vapor which dissipates away.
