decibel measurements
All Compostio composters are as quiet or quieter than other kitchen appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, or microwave ovens. Most people do not notice the sound above general background noise. After several weeks of normal use the machine breaks in and becomes even quieter. For more sound reduction, keep your NatureMill in a kitchen cabinet, closet, or outdoors. Decibels are a scientific measure of sound. Sound can be highly subjective and varies with the level of compost, background noise, distance, surrounding wall materials, and even temperature. Our standard decibel measurement procedure is a follows:

- The composter is located indoors at room temperature of 68F (20C)
- The composter has been in use for at least 1 week and is warm inside
- Both chambers are half full with compost
- Background (ambient) noise is below 35 decibels
- A high quality decibel meter has been calibration adjusted
- Decibel meter is 6 feet (3m) from the front of the machine, at a height of 3 feet (1.5m)
- Walls of the room are wood, drywall, or plaster (not steel, glass, marble, or tile)
- Center the meter directly in front of the machine
- Take a one minute average (sound level fluctuates over time)

capacity
4 gallons per week (15 L), depending on the model. Ideal for up to 5 people. Add food items any time, any day.
foods you can compost
Accepts most foods, even meat, fish, and dairy! The hot composting conditions break down most foods quickly and safely. Avoid hard items such as bones, or fibrous items such as paper, corn cobs, banana peels (cut them) and corn husks. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and related plants cause strong odors, so avoid them or keep your composter outside. The instructions contain a detailed reference sheet with specific examples.
rate of compost production
One batch every 2 weeks, containing approximately 2 gallons (8L), depending on actual usage.
finished product
High nitrogen compost - a soil amendment for lawns, gardens, trees, or potted plants. Compost is ready to use outdoors. As with all compost, it is a good idea to let the compost cure, as it is quite strong at first.
