Robot Nixes Stench of Indoor Composting
April 19, 2009 · Print This Article
Composting couldn’t be easier – if you’re doing it the old fashioned way, throwing food scraps and garden waste into a pile or bin in the backyard and letting nature do its thing. But for people who have limited outside space – or just don’t want to walk out to their compost pile after every meal – there can be some worries about indoor compost bins that start to reek all too quickly.
There are quite a few solutions to that problem, but the none are quite so amazingly high-tech as the Nature Mill kitchen composter. It’s like your own little Jetsons-style robot that devours your food scraps and regulates temperature and airflow for kitchen composting that’s (allegedly) stank-free.
The Nature Mill robot composter isn’t necessary by any means, and some would see it as just another ridiculous piece of electronic junk – but for others, it might mean the difference between turning their waste scraps into rich, organic, free garden compost and sending it to landfills to rot and produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. So, by all means, if you’re lazy or cramped for outdoor space – let this little robot do the dirty work for you.

Have you tried out the Nature Mill? I have and it is a waste of money. I do not know how anyone could put it in their house. It STINKS. We tried it out and put it right outside our back door. You had to close the door to the house before you opened it or else it would stink up the house. It also jammed all the time. We had to put gloves on and unjam. It was really disgusting. We used it for about 3 months got maybe one batch of compost not good for anything and sent it back to the company.
