The O2Compost Micro-Bin Compost Kit is ideal for managing livestock manure of every variety as well as landscaping waste, food waste and pet wastes. It is perfect for processing manure from 1 to 4 horses, or the equivalent number of sheep and goats, chickens, rabbits, etc. It is also perfect for grass clippings, leaves and other garden debris along with kitchen scraps from the home, schools, summer camps, etc. By simply managing the flow of air through the compost mix, this method of composting: controls nuisance odors, rodents and flies; destroys weed seeds and pathogens in the mix; greatly expedites the composting process; and eliminates impacts to the environment – all without turning the compost pile. The finished compost is ready to spread on pastures or use in the garden within 30- to 60-days. The finished compost may also be used as a feedstock for worm bins (vermi-compost systems) or sold to local gardeners, nurseries and landscapers. The kit includes a training manual that teaches the basics of aerated composting, along with six bin designs, a small aeration blower, a timer to operate the blower, a 20-inch temperature probe, and an aeration manifold. With simple hand tools, you’ll be able to construct this portable compost system within a few hours using locally purchased plywood and lumber. In her book, “How to be the Perfect Horsekeeper”, Dr. Karen Hayes describes the O2Compost Micro-Bin as “The Perfect Manure Management System”. Composting with air is considered a Best Management Practice and will transform the “manure pile out back” into a clean and attractive manure management system that eliminates neighbor complaints and converts the expense of manure disposal into a new profit center for the farm or stable.

| This review is from: Aerated Micro-Bin Compost and Manure Management System (Lawn & Patio) The system works well. The corrugated PVC drain tiles supplied with the system did not hold up well under the weight of the contents of the Micro bin. After 60 days under the bin they were partially collapsed. Had to replace with solid drain tiles which have held up much better. You can be as frugal or elaborate with your bin construction as you desire if cost is your concern or looks don't matter much. Product instruction manual supplied is well drafted and easy to follow. Composting guidelines included is very helpful as well.I started out with one Micro bin and have expanded to two. The finished product is very well broken down and the Nutrients give gardeners an excellent alternative to commercial fertilizers. Noxious weeds are all but eliminated with this system compared to static pile. We use end product in our garden and as a top dressing to our pasture rotation cycle, as well as an extra source of revenue. The end product produces an excellent result when... Read more |
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.

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...

This review is from: All Seasons Indoor Composter - 1 Tan Bucket (Lawn & Patio) I've gone through a few loads of bokashi fermented food in this unit. I also made my own out of some 3 gallon buckets. The happy farmer unit has never rotted the food. Yes there is an odor, but it is not rotten- my homemade bucket at one point was not airtight and it rotted food- there is a very big difference. The smell is a pickled smell, and I suppose it is stinky but honestly its not too bad. We use ours inside only. One tip is to put a plastic bag inside on top of the food and push it down so it eliminatess any air. The fermenting process is anaerobic so any oxygen in there just slows things down.It isn't effortless, yes you have to sprinkle the powder on every time you use it, and every once in a while you have to drain it out- this isn't tough, and for me it helps to remind me to water the plants since it works as good fertilizer. This bucket isn't perfect, but it beats the heck out a homemade bucket and lid because those are so hard to open. Bokashi is...

This review is from: All Seasons Indoor Composter - 1 Tan Bucket (Lawn & Patio) More work than I thought it was going to be, and it doesn't really MAKE compost, it just gets it started, then you're supposed to bury the pickled food scraps in dirt in order for it to really break down. The return policies include restocking fee, so make sure you really want to buy this. |
The redworm is known as "Natures Wonder Worker," It eats its own body weight in compost daily. Just simply put a bag (1000 Count) of Uncle Jims redworms in your garden or compost pile and reap the best organic soil available without chemicals or fertlizers. Healthy soil equates to a garden of plentiful fruits and vegetables. The redworm also makes a delicious bite sized hi-protein treat for any aquarium fish or reptile. Trout and Pan fishermen see excellent results also.

This review is from: Uncle Jim's Worm Farm 1,000 Count Red Wiggler Live Composting Worms (Lawn & Patio) UPDATE: We've had our red wigglers now for about a year in one of our raised bed gardens and they're still thriving. The soil in that bed is ready to be moved to other beds for vegetable growing. It is so rich and light and in 500% better than what we started with. The worms aren't exactly talking to us, but they sure seem like our choice of organic matter we discard into their home.My wife and I USED to be very organic... we ground our own flour and made our own whole grain bread. We made yogurt, sourdough culture, dried our own fruit, used honey in excessive quantities. But as we grew older, we got less and less organic and more convenience-oriented. We're not eating white bread and cheetos, but we haven't ground flour in a few years. This past summer, we wanted to grow some vegetables in our raised vegetable beds on our back property. The soil was pretty compacted - lots of clay here in northern California... so we looked into composting. We ran across the...

Great way to make some great compost for your garden! 51 of 53 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Uncle Jim's Worm Farm 1,000 Count Red Wiggler Live Composting Worms (Lawn & Patio) This seller is amazing. I ordered the worms and they came pretty much instantly. The seller warned of them possibly being stressed or dehydrated upon arrival but the worms were happy and healthy and numerous in quantity. I am so happy and was not expecting such a great find on Amazon. The shipping is SO cheap, it blows my mind. |
