It helps you and the planet

Composting is a natural biological process, during which a humus-like substance is created from various organic materials. This is not just a simple kitchen activity, but a serious step towards sustainability and environmental protection.

Just think about how much food waste you produce in a week! Now imagine that this does not end up in the trash, but becomes valuable nutrients in your garden or in your home composter. This way, in addition to the amount of waste, you can also reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, since organic waste does not go to the landfill - where methane gas would be produced from it.

With composting, you can make a "nutrient bomb" for your garden and plants yourself. It improves the quality of the soil, helping your plants get nutrients from a reliable source. With composting, what until now was just garbage will now become the most valuable source of health for your plants.

What is allowed and what is not?

Composting isn't complicated, but there are a few basic things you should be aware of.

What can we compost? Fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea filters, eggshells and even garden waste are all great ingredients for compost. However, there are some things you should avoid! 

Do not put in the compost: 

• meat and dairy products, 
• oils, 
• fats, 
• and large amounts of citrus. 

They make the composting process difficult and can also cause unpleasant odors. 

Good, but where should I put it?

Choosing a compost site is also an important step. If you are thinking about a garden composter, choose a shady but well-ventilated place that you can easily access. It is worth buying or making a compost bin, which helps to keep the process in order.

If you live in an apartment, you don't have to give up composting either! A small indoor composter or an electric composter can be a great solution for you. These devices are odorless and work efficiently, so they will be in the perfect place in your kitchen without causing any inconvenience.

Use it like this

When the compost is ready, you can use it in many ways both in the garden and in the home. Spread it in the potting soil or on the lawn. Don't forget the houseplants either! Adding a small amount of compost to your flower soil can do wonders. Compost helps improve the structure of the soil and provides your plants with nutrients, making them stronger and healthier.

A quick and convenient solution for the home

Composting with traditional methods can take months, while an electric composter can shorten this process to a few weeks or even days. In addition, it not only saves you time, but also makes handling the compost much easier.

Another great advantage of electric composters is their odor-free operation. This is especially important for indoor use, as no one wants unpleasant smells in the kitchen. Electric composters are equipped with special filters and air flow systems to ensure that the composting process is odorless. In addition, the electric composter is also suitable for decomposing food scraps, meat and pastries - odor-free - so there is even less waste in the kitchen!

Some models also have smart sensors and apps. With their help, the composting process can be easily observed and optimized. Quiet operation and small size allow you to find the perfect place for the electric composter even in really small kitchens!

With the help of an electric composter, you can not only reduce kitchen waste and your ecological footprint, but you can also give your plants a whole new life!
