Wife bought this for me for my birthday. It's a bit noisy but it works pretty well.

In times of need people come up with solutions. Any day I am expecting the home-made alcohol mill for making ethanol for fuel.

Keep up the good work providing us with what we need when we need it. This will both reduce garbage, and increase fertilizer without using petroleum.

I purchased the NatureMill Pet Friendly composter to complement our vermicomposting as it is advertised for pet waste and fish skin as well as other protein based food wastes which we don't put into our vermicomposter.

We are quite disappointed with it as it is an awful smell and was quite loud such that we have moved it from inside in our laundry room to outside on our porch. The pet waste it was intended for is for 2 cats and this proved to be terrible as the smell was sickening. We stopped using it for the pet waste. It does ok with limited amount of fish skins but still overall it is much too smelly although we've also maintained the sawdust/baking soda additions as instructed.

Our vermicomposter has been much more effective and has only a faint earthy smell such that it remains in our kitchen.
