Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Way OT -- Food disposer/composter
The basic idea would be to make it fairly easy to dump stuff in the disposer and it goes into something that I could deal with at my leisure, and not be filling up a can by the sink with veggie stuff, Out of sight, out of mind. I don't think a fully automatic system is possible, so you're probably best served by keeping your bucket small, and requiring relatively frequent servicing of it. Else you'll have a huge rotting mess to deal with periodically, turning a frequent easy chore into a periodic, messy project. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Way OT -- Food disposer/composter
30 + years ago I purchased an insinkerator-type disposal hooked up to a cheap plastic bucket, dubbed an insant composter or some such moniker. I ground up kitchen waste into a noxious slurry, but couldn't figure out a good way to turn this slurry into compost. It just sat on the ground and turned brown. Yuk.

Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Way OT -- Food disposer/composter
How about hooking it up to something like a composting toilet? I am no expert on what is in them but essentially a means of turning the compost periodically and a fan for odour removal and maybe a heating element to dy out excess moisture seems to be mostly what is talked about on web sites that describe them.

Our small bucket is dumped onto the compost pile often; doesn't have time to rot in the house.

My local control system makes sure it gets emptied often, whether I take it to the compost bin or it goes into the trash. --R On 12/10/2010 2:14 PM, WILTON wrote: Our small bucket is dumped onto the compost pile often; doesn't have time to rot in the house.
