There are now at least seven of these units in the U.S., as well as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compostandig.nl\/composteermachine-kopen\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">company<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the Netherlands that has taken our design and reworked it for use in northern Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we recognize that there is a need for a smaller, simpler, and much less expensive system to compost organics at a neighborhood or organization scale. Therefore, CfG has developed a DIY \u201cneighborhood-scale\u201d composting system capable of composting well over 10,000 pounds of food scraps (including meat and dairy) and wood chips per year. This simple system consists of a 3- or 4-foot diameter, 4-foot long polyethylene highway culvert with a plywood top, compost thermometer and auger. The total cost of the unit comes to approximately $700.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CfG believes this system is one way to bring composting to a much wider audience at an affordable price \u2014 and to help keep plant nutrients and dollars in the local economy. We also believe that this is a system that can be scaled for individuals who want to go into commercial-scale composting by operating multiple smaller units simultaneously with relatively low initial capital investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If fed with an appropriate recipe (food scraps, wood chips and or other carbon materials), temperatures inside the composter can reach 150\u00b0 F, rendering even the most disgusting food scraps into a stable organic material within several days. When operated correctly, these systems don\u2019t attract dogs, vermin or flies, and odors are minimized because of the contained design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An auger is used to both aerate and mix the material in the drum either manually by hand or with a newly designed auger that fits into a \u00bd inch portable drill. Actium Resources \u2014 a Canadian compost equipment manufacturing company \u2014 can ship a 37 \u00bd inch auger to you for about $65. Actium can be reached at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:john@actiumcomposting.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">john@actiumcomposting.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the material inside of the drum has stabilized, and the temperature drops to air temperature, the important step of curing can be accomplished by tipping the drum on its side and creating a pile with the contents. To create high quality, biologically robust compost, the maturing pile needs to be kept at about 50% moisture content for an additional month or two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These systems can be set up in a matter of minutes. The user spends about three minutes per day aerating and mixing the contents inside of the drum, and another 30 minutes to an hour once a full drum needs to be emptied.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that highway culverts are typically sold in 20 foot lengths and since each composter is four feet long (or four feet high once you set it up),\u00a0 you may need to find others interested in sharing the cost of a 20 foot culvert. CfG might be able to help you coordinate a group order.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in a free schematic or case study with additional details, please reach out to <a href=\"mailto:compost@adkaction.org\">compost@adkaction.org<\/a>.
