Don't waste your kitchen wastes

We all have kitchen wastes to deal with. The worst option is to send them as rubbish to landfills, ending up as emissions that intensify climate change. A better alternative is to repurpose them. You can turn kitchen scraps into soil-enriching superfood.

Nutrients in your wastes

Kitchen scraps are rich in nutrients that plants need for growth. Instead of wasting the nutrients in landfill, you can recycle kitchen waste into nutrient-dense produce with a suitable microbial compost system.

Compost bins and tumblers are commonly used to break down garden wastes. Some types of kitchen scraps can be added as a minor component of your waste mixture, to shorten the composting time and to make the compost a little richer in nutrients.

Bioverter is designed to compost waste composites containing kitchen scraps as the primary component.

Compost microbes feast on your wastes in its controlled environment, unlocking richness which is captured in its slide-out collectors at the base of the unit. Unlike tumblers and compost bins, Bioverter is able to collect released water and soluble nutrients as a second output - compost juice.

Another advance is eliminating the need to mix, which makes it easier to use than compost bins and tumblers. The microbes in Bioverter take care of themselves - and compost your wastes - without any external help.

Collateral benefits

Kitchen wastes rot quickly when buried without oxygen in landfills, and emit greenhouse gases as a result. You don’t produce landfill emissions at all when you recycle them into compost instead.

Turn compost into soil superfood

Home composting generally produces darkened solid matter with little of the original wastes in it, and free of smells that attract rats or other pests. We call it compost soil.

Compost soil will eventually become part of your soil when left sandwiched between soil and a covering layer of normal garden mulch. This is similar to fallen plant matter decaying and disappearing into the ground in nature.

Fresh compost soil isn’t ready to be dug into soil as it can compete with plants for oxygen and pull nitrogen out of soil. As an unfinished or immature product, it can harm, rather than enhance plant growth.

To get the most out of composting, leave your compost soil harvest in a sheltered spot for a few months to mature. Compost maturation takes time. It cannot be hurried but the wait is worthwhile. You’ll produce a soil superfood which improves your soil health, fertility and drought resistance. Enrich your soil with it, and you’ll see your plants and garden bloom.
