Add-On Composter Fits Garbage Disposal
Barbara Di Lalla has been searching for a device that would allow her to grind up kitchen food waste for composting.
    An avid gardener from Chester, Va., she wrote to FARM SHOW asking if we knew of an in-sink disposal unit that would allow her to capture ground-up food materials.
    We found one. The "Kich'n Komposter" gathers ground-up food from a disposal and uses centrifugal force to separate out the water. The water goes down the drain and the food is held by the removable basket inside the unit.
    Since the unit can be turned on or off by the flip of a switch you can shut it off when disposing of meat, dairy or other foods you don't want in your compost pile. A valve opens and closes the pipe to the composter.    
    The Kich'n Komposter comes with a one year warranty and sells for $156, plus shipping.
