Food dehydrator turns food scraps into fertilizer

Music

>> Shiftbob Muse phonetic is a food dehydrator for excess food scraps.

>> We take food waste. We've got fish scraps, some herbs that weren't so nice, some herb trimmings. So we take it, we open up the top of the hopper, and we simply dump it in. Close it, and we hit the start button. So magically, 18 hours later, we'll end up with this. So it literally is dehydrating the food.

RE: Food dehydrator turns food scraps into fertilizer

Can you do this with solar instead of electric power? I realize composting is difficult with large amounts of materials in the city, but it works great in my backyard. :)threadthing
