When I was given the opportunity to review something from
EcoMom, I was more than a little excited. Offering
eco-friendly baby products – EcoMom was my kind of website. After browsing their easily navigated site, I was in love. They have so many great, ‘Green’ products, and not just baby stuff. I immediately knew I wanted their
Bamboo Compost Pail. I hadn’t actually started composting my leftovers yet, but I knew that I needed a push and this was it.
For those that don’t know what composting is, composting is "the transformation of organic material (plant matter) through decomposition into a soil-like material called compost" (from howtocompost.org). Instead of making all your food leftovers into waste, composting turns it into a usable substance: fertilizer.
This composter is a mini-sized one, perfect for sitting on your counter collecting leftovers instead of having to run out to the pile all the time. I have been dumping it every couple of days, but not for any reason other than just wanting to.
This pail comes with a replaceable charcoal filter. I’ve had no smell seeping out of it and I haven’t actually filled it up once. It is so nice looking on my counter that no one knows it’s a compost pail and it really adds convenience to my life. It’s really well made too, which is a plus so that it will last a long time. This compost pail has pushed me into finally being a composter, which makes me feel really good about being more green.
