In Today’s post, we will look into an awesome eco-friendly technology that converts food waste into nutrient rich organic fertilizer in less than 24 hours – A Plug and Play Silent and Odor-free Indoor Composting Method.
We all know that Composting can return a significant portion of the nutrients we waste back to the Earth, where they can do so much good for plants, animals and also humans. Conventional methods of composting like Bokashi’s anerobic method or even the conventional method of aerobic composting can take a lot of time like atleast a couple of months, before we can use the finished compost for our plants. And these methods involve quite cumbersome procedures and techniques like turning the compost pile every other day and stuff like that. I have done a detailed tutorial on Composting A to Z like the Basics of Composting, various methods of composting, what are greens and browns, etc. You can check that post HERE.
In this article, we will demonstrate you an absolute fastest way to compost your food waste in less than 24 hours. Thanks to the latest technology by reencle which brings you this Kitchen-to-Garden-Fertilizer-Composter. Its an electric composting machine which can turn food scraps into garden fuel.
Let us unbox and test this fastest composting machine and check how fast it can compost food scraps within few hours. This handy gadget effectively composts up to 2 pounds of food waste every 24 hours and returns 90% of it back to nature!
Now, Let us quickly learn How this gadget works? Reencle’s technology emulates the animal or human digestive system, that’s pretty much similar to how the beneficial microbes in your gut help digest what you eat. The specific microbe that does the job is the Reencle-Microbe™, They have just named it as Bacillus. Like in Human digestive system the process of digestion starts by breaking of larger chunks of food by the teeth, this work is done by Reencle mixing rods which chop larger food waste particles into smaller ones. In Human system, the Stomach churns the food, secretes Gastric juices and enzymes that help in digestion – that’s both mechanical and chemical action. In Reencle composter, this job is done by the Reencle Microbe Bacillus which breaks down and transforms food waste into compost. This Bacillus has great ability to decompose organic matter such as Carbohydrates, proteins and even fats.
Now, Lets quickly look at the this Elegant gadget. What’s in the Box?
When you order a Reencle, you get 1 x Reencle Prime Composter, 2 x Reencle Prime – Carbon Filters (1 x pre-installed, 1 x replacement filter), 1 x ReencleMicrobe™ Packet, 1 x Reencle Handy Shovel, 1 x Power cable, A user manual with 1-year warranty, and also a composting guide sheet.
Let me show you the parts of this composting gadget. This is the Small lid, The bid lid, the stirring or the mixing tank with rods and blades. These are the touch buttons. This is a foot motion sensor which automatically senses and open the door when you approach near the machine. This one is Purifier carbon filter behind, you get another spare filter with your order. These knobs on either side for lifting the composter. You can check complete details and order at Reencle website reencleus.com. You can find the link in the description below. This is not a very expensive gadget. It costs about 499 dollars with the new year sale going on.
Now let’s Start Composting using Reencle.
The first thing to do is to prepare or activate the composting microbes. This looks like saw dust powder initially with lot of useful stuff in it. You can also see paddy husk, activated charcoal pieces and lot of stuff. Just open the lid and pour the entire packet of this microbe powder into the machine and then add about 1.5 litres of clean water to it and close the lid. Turn the machine on and leave it for 24 hours. After few hours you can open the lid to check. If its looking too dry, then add or spray some more water. Water condensation on the underside of the lid is a good indicator of sufficient hydration of the compost mix.
After 24 hours, you are ready to start making your first compost. Simple concept here is – the new activated microbes are not strong enough to digest too much of load and all types of food waste in the initial 3-4 weeks. You start with lighter foods like Rice and bread first. Also its better to make smaller pieces of the food items for faster and smooth composting.
Now, After 12 hours, you don’t see any food waste, its all disappeared. Its really fast. It completely composted after 24 hours. So this way for initial few weeks you can add lighter foods.
After this period, you can add most of the food waste, except a few items which I shall mention shortly. Make sure you cut large-sized food waste into smaller pieces. Also rinse and put salty and seasoned food waste.
Acceptable food wastes which can compost faster include – Fruits, Vegetables, Cooked Meat and Fish, Grains, Noodles, Cookies, Bread, Cooked egg, etc.
Acceptable Food Wastes that can slowly decompose include – Pizza Crust, Watermelon peels, banana peels, Radish, Cabbage, Cucumber, Sweet potato and other Raw vegetables.
Unacceptable Waste includes – obviously plastics, Bones, Butter, Cream, Oils, Raw Meat, Roots, Uncut Fruit and Vegetables, Large seeds of Stone Fruits, Hard shells like walnuts, Egg shells. Eggshells will not decompose but will only be broken down into small pieces. Egg shells take a long time to decompose. You can check my detailed post on egg-shells and its uses in garden.
I am sure, you will have a lot of questions in your mind about Reencle composter. You can check their website and an online guide book that answers most of these questions.
If you want to take composting to the next level and generate a 24 hour supply of nutrient rich fertilizer for your home garden, this is a great gadget to invest and I would certainly recommend this product. You will be really happy to see the compost ready in 24 hours which can never happen in conventional methods of composting. I shall use this compost on my plants, experiment more on this and get back to you with an update later on.
Happy Gardening and A very happy new year!
