The Power of Indoor Compost

Dominic writes "Last week, a certain Sharp kitchen composter was the talk of the internet. But sadly, it used 300W of power to run! Not quite the perfect ideal of nature-friendlyness a composter ought to be. This week, Treehugger has a better model up, The Naturemill, which is actually available in North America, and only uses 4W of power. Best of all, it can still handle enough food waste for a family of 5. So you can get your compost on without all the hastle of a pile. And without the electric bills."

    "The Power of Indoor Compost"

    Thanks, Slashdot. Was always looking for a technical justification for not bothering to clean the house.

    This is also great fun for another reason:

    Body disposal! Just drop in your least favourite neighbour/spouse/kid, and in a few days time you'll have a beautifully clean skeleton, ready for framing/grinding to make your bread!

    Well... it's what they do in museums to make skeletons of samples.

    ...for many city dwellers.
