The first post in the new green@home category comes straight from woot.com.
Today's podcast on the site advertises a death star-esqe composter, and well, we got a little excited about that, and couldn't help but put in an order!
Here's the full story: for nearly two years, I've been on the verge of starting some sort of composting pile. In fact, just yesterday, I was perusing this site for information on composting and vermicomposting (worms). It's chalk full of great information from the NC Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance.
I even had a bin picked out for the vermicompost bin (which I may still start). I just needed to get worms, but where? And that's when the project was just about to get pushed aside, just like last year when I only got as far as collecting pamphlets. The lesson here is that there are many, many ways to get started, so just do it. In our case, it took a death star.
Ok, to be perfectly honest the Eco Composter is not a death star, but it sure looks like one. Of course, once we get the box, we may change our minds. An Amazon.com reviewer had this to say: "This composter should come with a warning: 'Be prepared to abandon your life for the foreseeable future before committing to assembly.'"
"The Death Star wasn't built overnight!" responds my boyfriend.
We are engineers. This is only a challenge to our skills.
Check back for more, I'll have a report once we get the thing into action!
