In the summer season of home and garden shows, no doubt you have witnessed the amazing counter-top compost machines working away turning veggie scraps into soil. As more people are transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, their compostable waste also grows.
In 2022, the opportunity to manage your food waste has become so much easier with the launch of affordable and sleek counter-top models. Just plug them in, fill them up, and go about your business.
What exactly are home ‘electric composters?’
These freestanding small kitchen appliances, sometimes called food recyclers, break down food waste into compost or fertilizer. Today we share five products that are the size of a slow cooker or air fryer and should fit on your countertop.
They differ from traditional home composting methods as they do not rely on aerobic microbes to break organic matter into compost over a long period. Instead, the electric composters grind food scraps. They then heat them over several hours, producing a loose, dry material that is awesome to add to potted plants or garden soil as fertilizer. Depending on which model you choose, the byproduct may resemble coffee grounds more closely than the rich, dark soil-like substance you get from finished compost.
