That's a creative way to turn the other cheek. This isn't spam; it's interesting, although I'd like to know how it turns scraps into fertilizer in only 24 hours.


That's why it's so expensive.

The video says it costs $1199. There's something wrong with someone who wastes so much food as we see being fed into this gadget.


Yeah, I saw that. I also saw $699. I'm waiting for $29.99.

The local Authority deals with it over here. Separate food scraps bin taken emptied each week and composted. Only problem is some critter has worked out how to get into the critter proof lock so now I have to put a brick on top of the bin.

I have a couple of compost piles. I"ve been composting for 10 years. I find it very difficult to believe that waste turns into "fertilizer" in 24 hours.

I was recently at our local supermarket,when I noticed the produce man going through the tomatoes, and taking most of them off the shelf and putting them in boxes. I asked him what he was doing, he said he had to take out the ones that might be a little soft, or not as attractive . I said, what do you do with them, he replied, they have to throw them away. I was shocked, and asked if they can't be given to the homeless, or the hungry, as they were beautifull tomatoes. He said they used to, in the past, but one person got sick,, blamed it on the tomatoes, and sued, ,and won. Now, they are prohibited from donating perfectly good food. That is a testament to the lousy lawyers we have running this country

I was a Walmart a couple of years ago and they were tossing out whole hams in their deli section. I asked the same question, why don't you donate them to the local food banks, St. Vincent DePaul or the homeless shelters. I received the same answer.....possible law suits. Such a waste!
