Tools and Hardware Reviews of All Seasons Indoor Composter - 1 Tan Bucket
Customer Review: Not a complete solution, but it does fill a need
Summary: 4 Stars
Opinions on this product are going to vary by the person so take my review FWIW. First, a set of pros and cons:
Pros:
- It does digest and compost food as it says.
- The compost isn't complete until you get it outside to finish, but it finishes quickly and provides fantastic compost.
- The bucket/fixture is pretty unobtrusive and looks good.
- It holds more than you'd think, primarily due to the fermenting/pickling reducing the size of items.
- It produces a liquid fertilizer that is great for houseplants.
Cons:
- It does smell when you open it (although the smell goes away quickly when you're done and close it).
- It is kind of a pain to "batch" piles of compost -- the process is a little cumbersome to do every day, and results in a small collecting pile of deteriorating food items in between batches.
- It does require finishing outside, preferably in a compost bin/pile.
- The cleanup of the bucket is not fun -- smells a lot like vomit.
Overall, I like this composter, and have been using it for a year now. I find it very helpful during the winter months to keep composting when I can't get at my regular compost pile. Once you empty a batch in there, it looks nasty (everything looks the same as before, only moldy and white from pickling) and smells nasty too -- but is turned into workable compost in days. I was actually amazed at how quickly it turned over. The batching is a bit of a pain, since you have to leave things out until you have enough to process -- which sometimes results in unsightly gatherings of food and sometimes mold! The fertilizer liquid smells horrid, but is fine when you add a shot to a gallon/bucket of water for indoor houseplants. I've never smelled anything bad from the houseplants once they've been watered with this concoction.
Thumbs up, with some caveats -- can work well in certain households!
Description of All Seasons Indoor Composter - 1 Tan Bucket
The All Seasons Indoor Composter is a unique indoor product used to recycle kitchen waste into an organic compost soil conditioner. The most effective method of fermenting is through anaerobic (without oxygen) fermentation. This process prepares the scraps for burial in less than half the time of conventional composting methods without any unpleasant odors. Used in conjunction with All Seasons Bokashi (sold separately), the system provides the ideal conditions to activate anaerobic fermentation that accelerates the composting process, while eliminating odors and deterring flies. The All Seasons Indoor Composter includes two unique features, the strainer and spigot, allowing the moisture released by the scraps of food waste to be drained out to prevent spoilage. This concentrated liquid, a nutrient-rich -inch tea-inch can be used as a fertilizer for plants or to clean your kitchen and bathroom drains once diluted. The All Seasons Indoor Composter is easy-to-use composting bin made for collecting food wastes all year long and can be easily implemented in an indoor environment making it useful for apartment, school, household, restaurant, business or wilderness use.Categories Tools
