What is the resulting product? Is it completed composted or is it just pickled?

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.

We take it outside every day, to our composter. This bin is just for scraps, like salad -type things. Lettuce, etc. Apple peelings, potato peels, etc. Also we put the coffee grinds and filter in the compost. I bought it because it doesn't stink unless you open the lid. We wash it out every day, after we dump the contents into the outdoor composter.

This is not a composter. It is simply a container for collecting waste from preparing meals before carrying the waste to the trash barrel or compost pile.

Not composted or pickled. It's just temporary storage prior to taking somewhere else (compost bin, etc.). It only holds about a gallon of waste.

Once I got creative and made muffins with the left over "mash" thumbs down turned out gross! Honestly of you have a garden it ends up making great soil. Years ago i used to compost. Once i used the pulp for smoothies. Depending on what you juiced it's amazing!

It is normal. With zucchini it is mostly seeds so i throw it in with the compost. With other veggies it's just a tube of veg so I chop it up into the dish.

Most gets spun into a small basket while some gets caught in the plastic container surrounding it. If you compost, the pulp would be a great addition. All components are easily cleaned. But be sure to clean up sooner rather than later. I've never, and would not recommend that you let the remains get dried and encrusted before cleaning.Hope this helps.

To be honest. I am usure of if it's wild or farm raised, and I just finished a bag and sent it to be recycled, so I can't look at the bag to tell you. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Sorry, don't compost. I suggest you contact St. Gabriel Organics for info like that.

I'm not sure, it's kind of a waxy felt substance, it mostly resembles a thick cloth. Drains well, though. I grew all kinds of things in them, in some pots I grew sweet corn and green beans together, the smaller ones I grew carrots and radishes. I left them outside all winter, though, filled with dirt, so as soon as the glacier melts I'll check them out, I hope they made it because I love them, but they're kinda pricey.

Hi yarddog:) I don't really understand the question... But I will tell you that the pickle is to be heated in a small crockpot and right after soldering you drop your silver inside the mixer. It removes all of the copper tat has risen to the top of the silver.. As for the copper turning black which is usually oxidation.. You can remove that by buffing or using super fine steel wool 00. I don't know if that answers your question? I am a novice:)

Hi! We purchased one of these Toter compost carts, and the compost in the bottom of the cart is finished now. We will use the compost as is, although it does have a few larger pieces. If you wanted uniform compost, you could screen it (here are directions for a homemade compost screen: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/airwaste/wm/Recycle/Comp_Screen/Build1.htm), and put the larger pieces back in the top of the cart. As, I said, we think it is fine as it is, and it looks and smells finished. - I hope this helps.

It is made of plastic but I am not sure if it's recycled. Also, I am not sure if it is food grade because I am just using it for a houseplant. Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

I believe you would have at least a layer of finished compost at the bottom of the bin in 8 weeks and could lift the bin up and move it, then move the unfinished contents on top back to the bin, leaving the finished compost available to use. I usually add to the bin for 3-4 months (it never stays full for more than a few days as things decay and compress), which yields better results than trying to hurry it along.

Hi again, it's cocoa so it has been heated. I read if it's raw it would be cacao.

I bought mine last summer. It sits flat on the ground and is working quite well. This is my first planting season using the compost and I am happy with the results.

When you have nice compost. :) I have to say I am not impressed with the compost making ability as I have not gotten any! Switching back to my composting on the ground.

This is a difficult question to answer since there are SO many variables in the process (temp, green and brown mix, type of material, how often you are adding to and checking the compost, etc...). I started one side of the composter and kept adding to it for many weeks (the material will break down and take up less space as you go). Once it was about 3/4 full I switched to the other side and let the original side continue to compost while adding to the other side. Once the second side got 3/4 full I emptied the original side of it's composted material. I probably added 2 gallons of material 3 times per week and it took me about 6 months to get to the point of emptying the original side.

I believe it to be organic. We use it in our organic garden with good results.

I'm sure you've dealt with this by now, but for others who might read this. I have two of these wonderful crocks. I noticed a lingering odor in one after fermenting pickles. I use nothing more than earth friendly dish soap and water for cleaning. Over time the odor disappeared on its own. I was unconcerned as I knew that I would only be using it for fermenting food.
