In Today’s episode, we will look into an awesome eco-friendly technology that converts
food waste into nutrient rich organic fertilizer in less than 24 hours – A Plug and Play
Silent and Odor-free Indoor Composting Method. Coming up!
We all know that Composting can return a significant portion of the nutrients we waste back to
the Earth, where they can do so much good for plants, animals and also humans. Conventional
methods of composting like Bokashi’s anerobic method or even the conventional method of
aerobic composting can take a lot of time like atleast a couple of months, before we
can use the finished compost for our plants. And these methods involve quite cumbersome
procedures and techniques like turning the compost pile every other day and stuff like
that. I have done a detailed 20 minute video tutorial on Composting A to Z like the Basics
of Composting, various methods of composting, what are greens and browns, etc. You can check
that video at the end screen link at the end of this video or from link in description
below. In this episode, we will demonstrate you an
absolute fastest way to compost your food waste in less than 24 hours. Thanks to the
latest technology by reencle which brings you this Kitchen-to-Garden-Fertilizer-Composter.
Its an electric composting machine which can turn food scraps into garden fuel.
Let us unbox and test this fastest composting machine and check how fast it can compost
food scraps within few hours. This handy gadget effectively composts up to 2 pounds of food
waste every 24 hours and returns 90% of it back to nature!
Now, Let us quickly learn How this gadget works? Reencle’s technology emulates the
animal or human digestive system, that’s pretty much similar to how the beneficial
microbes in your gut help digest what you eat. The specific microbe that does the job
is the Reencle-Microbe™, They have just named it as Bacillus. Like in Human digestive
system the process of digestion starts by breaking of larger chunks of food by the teeth,
this work is done by Reencle mixing rods which chop larger food waste particles into smaller
ones. In Human system, the Stomach churns the food, secretes Gastric juices and enzymes
that help in digestion – that’s both mechanical and chemical action. In Reencle composter,
this job is done by the Reencle Microbe Bacillus which breaks down and transforms food waste
into compost. This Bacillus has great ability to decompose organic matter such as Carbohydrates,
proteins and even fats. Now, Lets quickly look at the this Elegant
gadget. What’s in the Box? When you order a Reencle, you get 1 x Reencle
Prime Composter, 2 x Reencle Prime - Carbon Filters (1 x pre-installed, 1 x replacement
filter), 1 x ReencleMicrobe™ Packet, 1 x Reencle Handy Shovel, 1 x Power cable, A user
manual with 1-year warranty, and also a composting guide sheet.
Let me show you the parts of this composting gadget. This is the Small lid, The bid lid,
the stirring or the mixing tank with rods and blades. These are the touch buttons. This
is a foot motion sensor which automatically senses and open the door when you approach
near the machine. This one is Purifier carbon filter behind, you get another spare filter
with your order. These knobs on either side for lifting the composter. You can check complete
details and order at Reencle website reencleus.com. You can find the link in the description below.
This is not a very expensive gadget. It costs about 499 dollars with the new year sale going
on. Well, Now let’s Start Composting using Reencle.
The first thing to do is to prepare or activate the composting microbes. This looks like saw
dust powder initially with lot of useful stuff in it. You can also see paddy husk, activated
charcoal pieces and lot of stuff. Just open the lid and pour the entire packet of this
microbe powder into the machine and then add about 1.5 litres of clean water to it and
close the lid. Turn the machine on and leave it for 24 hours. After few hours you can open
the lid to check. If its looking too dry, then add or spray some more water. Water condensation
on the underside of the lid is a good indicator of sufficient hydration of the compost mix.
After 24 hours, you are ready to start making your first compost. Simple concept here is
– the new activated microbes are not strong enough to digest too much of load and all
types of food waste in the initial 3-4 weeks. You start with lighter foods like Rice and
bread first. Also its better to make smaller pieces of the food items for faster and smooth
composting. Now, After 12 hours, you don’t see any food
waste, its all disappeared. Its really fast. It completely composted after 24 hours. So
this way for initial few weeks you can add lighter foods.
After this period, you can add most of the food waste, except a few items which I shall
mention shortly. Make sure you cut large-sized food waste into smaller pieces. Also rinse
and put salty and seasoned food waste. Acceptable food wastes which can compost faster
include – Fruits, Vegetables, Cooked Meat and Fish, Grains, Noodles, Cookies, Bread,
Cooked egg, etc. Acceptable Food Wastes that can slowly decompose
include – Pizza Crust, Watermelon peels, banana peels, Radish, Cabbage, Cucumber, Sweet
potato and other Raw vegetables. Unacceptable Waste includes – obviously
plastics, Bones, Butter, Cream, Oils, Raw Meat, Roots, Uncut Fruit and Vegetables, Large
seeds of Stone Fruits, Hard shells like walnuts, Egg shells. Eggshells will not decompose but
will only be broken down into small pieces. Egg shells take a long time to decompose.
You can watch my detailed video on egg-shells and its uses in garden from an i-card at top
right corner or from a link in description. I am sure, you will have a lot of questions
in your mind about Reencle composter. You can check their website and an online guide
book that answers most of these questions. If you want to take composting to the next
level and generate a 24 hour supply of nutrient rich fertilizer for your home garden, this
is a great gadget to invest and I would certainly recommend this product. You will be really
happy to see the compost ready in 24 hours which can never happen in conventional methods
of composting. I shall use this compost on my plants, experiment more on this and get
back to you with an update later on. Please like, share and comment below with
your feedback and queries. Happy Gardening and A very happy new year!
