compost for everyone (Score 4, Insightful)

Bastian, please keep in mind that some people are elderly and don't have the ability to mix and turn a half ton pile of compost every month. It's also very cold (and wet) in some parts of the world and for six months out of the year venturing to the compost pile is not pleasant. In Canada there are many areas where bears are frequent visitors to compost piles. So the machine at http://naturemill.com/ is a godsend for some of us. And yes, you are a little dim regarding the apartment dwellers. You see, some of us have indoor plants. Some of us have neighbors. Landfilling pretty much blocks the bio-degradable process because thos landfills are sealed up and there is no oxygen. Stuff just sits there. Composting is much better for our environment - at least it shrinks the size and weight of our waste.
