Reply to comment by DCLexiLou in Just learned there's a law about composting, how does everyone do it? by Dr_JackMeoff

To say it is usable compost/soil in 24 hrs is a strech. All they do is grind up and dehydrate the items you put in there.

Add water, and you have a ground up pile of food waste.

Have you ever used it as soil for any house plants?

I’ve used it extensively in our raised bed garden. Haven’t used it in any houseplants yet.

Have you used one yourself?

I used to work with restaurants that would use commercial models. It's a great solution to reduce food scrap volume for storage and collection frequency. Outside of solar supported power it just seems like a waste of energy for backyard composting
