Has anyone used this product in a compost crock or pail?

I use this product in a rotating barrel type composter and so far it's the best I found. Bernie Meyer

I have purchased this product. I have only used it in my large, outside, composter. I use compostable bags in my kitchen composter.

No. This compost pail gives you somewhere to store your kitchen scraps for a few days before you dump them in your compost bin outside. The pail, with its charcoal filter in the lid, keeps the scraps from smelling up your kitchen.

I have a 20gallon plastic tote that I use for my composting. I added in a little dirt to start it, added in worms and now add paper and old fruits/veggies as the worms eat it. I have had it going for a year now and it has been great for my plants!

My husband and I have been using it as a primary bathroom for a bit over a month and plan to continue doing so. He generally changes it out, but it seems to be composting and not simply creating a tank of solids.

There is no composted product, per se. The bin is temporary storage for composted material, which you then throw out to your compost pile every day or so. The intended use is for the bin to sit on your kitchen counter as a convient container to collect compostible kitchen scraps. It does not create compost.

No, I have not once smelled the compost when the container is closed. When the container is open, I have only caught a hint of "earthy" smell. It's been a really good purchase for me. Just make sure you put holes in the base so water doesn't gather. (the part that the drum rests on) Hope that helps!

Technically, I don't see why not, but don't know what purpose it would serve. This mix is full of the little bacteria that live in soil to break down decaying matter. So we put it in our composter to make the stuff in our composter turn into soil. So while it won't harm soil, I don't know how it would help?Just my opinion.

I have the 7" diameter by 8 5/8" high (1.3 gallon). Using Norpro 50-6 liter degradable compost bags, I get more than a gallon in-at least 5 quarts worth.

I have no idea. I have only used it in my compost bin. Ask the manufacturer.

I had the same question when I got my bag, which wants you to use the whole thing at once. So I asked a farmer friend; he recommended half an ounce per gallon of compost. Hope this helps!

Yes! There are more coffee grounds in my compost than anything else. I do line the pail with the biodegradable bags.

You can buy corn based home compostable liners that fit pretty much any compost bin. Also, you can make one out of newspaper. And just one note, the point of a compost pail is to compost and make good soil for a garden, not to throw it in the trash. Regular plastic bags don't break down so basically whatever is in them is mumified for eternity. Composting eliminates waste and makes yummy plant food.

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it would work better, disposables get clogged this one doesn't. If you do please let us know the results.

It probably would- haven't tried it that way- but when thinking about it- the compost that we have been putting the thermometer in is almost like soil so I would think it would work. Probably not compacted soil though. Id go for it- the thermometer is durable.

I don't know. I use newspaper or a small piece of paper towel. All of it goes into the compost.

No, I use a small piece of newspaper or paper towel. This all goes into the compost bin.

I think the pail liner would work great. The wet bag with handles would probably not work - it would be too bulky to fit inside the pail.
