Going Compostal

NatureMill Indoor Composter

Dirty talk always gets you going in the bedroom. And the basement (stop judging). Oh, and definitely in the kitchen.

In which case, we have four words for you: NatureMill. Automatic. Indoor. Composter. Before you get all germy wormy, listen up: There’s no stench.

The appliance fits right under your sink (or in any standard cabinet), uses about as much energy as a night-light, and has a powerful carbon filter that nips lingering odors in the bud.

You fill it with up to 60 pounds of food or paper waste — orange rinds, junk mail, even that week-old chicken chow fun in your fridge. Two weeks later? Out comes a tray of beautiful, nutrient-rich compost perfect for fertilizing plants or gardens. Over time, you’ll divert more than two tons of otherwise-landfill-bound waste.

The computer controls all the sciencey stuff. When the light turns red, just empty the muck in the backyard.

Then feel free to roll around in it.
