very interesting idea

 

when I first moved here

 

I began ' working ' on a veg garden

 

using free pallets , 4 arranged in a square 

 

was what I started out with .   eventually I had 3 , as I had the space.

 

no animal scraps were ever added there , and there were no issues

 

w wild life.

 

that's y background .

 

there is a several towns wide organic pick up ,

 

Ive seen the truck traveling around .

 

but be ' aromatic '

 

Id say , for those that do the organic pick up

 

this might be easier   assuming cost // power consumption / counterspace

 

or floorspace works out.

 

im in the ' burbs ,and all homes have yards of some king.

 

it may or may not matter that the result from the bucket is not compost .

 

if placed on your plants , they won't benefit until its

 

compost ,  in composting w your ' pots ' of plants

 

the stuff would need a nitrogen boost to start ooff

 

but an interesting idea.

 

however , Im skeptical w the implication

 

that this devise is ''' more Green ''  

 

[ed.: ' green ' def may vary from time to time ]

 

thermodynamics suggests :   "" there is no free lunch '"

 

id be very interested in why the makers think

 

this is ' greener '   than an Organic ( food stuff and leaves , grass trimmings ) Landfill

 

I hope its not a commercial Bait and Switch :

 

1 ) what comes out of this is probably not truly ' composted '  ie broken down to very simple and

 

elemental nutrients , as far as I can tell

 

2 ) when you add the processed contents to soil , then that breakdown begins

 

and probably there are some gasses released.

 

add the second step to you total analysis , the ' green ' total effect

 

might not be that different.

 

this is not to say don't use this ,  you might get stuff for your garden 

 

or Pots , which is your personal benefit.
