I've got one of those, it's super. Keep it in your grow room, it gives off CO2 and has a built in carbon filter.

Sure do, I couldn't justify spending much more than $300 on dirt lol. I was going to make a post about this earlier but I forgot.. Leave the front cover off to make the most of your CO2 and filter, though I found that leaving the door open cuts the life of the carbon filter down to 2-3 months and it will start to get a little earthy smelling in there towards the end of it's life, but they're only 8 bucks (or cheaper if you just replace the carbon yourself), and it's a good enough to eliminate the pot smell without the need for additional carbon scrubbers. It does get hot though, and makes quite a bit of steam, so watch your ambient temp and humidity.

How much compost does your generate? As a single guy I'm not going to be piling extra bags of compost all over my house will I?

Just think of it as 2% of what you eat on a daily basis, maybe a bit more when you go to clean out the fridge. I put everything but meat byproducts in there. When it is sufficiently composted and I don't have immediate need to use it, the extra goes in a 5 gallon bucket, keeping it sealed will shut down the composting process.

Looks grand! Not exactly the same product, but there is a kitchen composter which does the same thing for under $50. No smell, carbon scrubber. Obviously it's for kitchen scraps though.

Would you mind linking or giving up a little more information? We have a compost pile, but it's down the hill and a pain in the ass, especially if it's raining. Plus, one of our dogs likes to raid it. One day I found her with fucking coffee grounds stuck on her muzzle. Fucking dog.

Go to Martha Stewart's website. A few months ago, maybe last year, she did a thing on growing worms for your garden using a clear plastic bin that would fit under the kitchen sink (assuming you have ROOM under your kitchen sink). It's a good thing. :)
Ha! Seconds, mere SECONDS later she comes back for the link WINNNNNNNNN..!!! GOOOAAALLLLLLLL!!!!! :lol:

My local hydro shop has this one from a company called Vermi T or something. Makes like liquid organic juice that can be used for soil or hydroponics.

The cheap kitchen scrap composter. There is a slightly cheaper version, but it's worth it to shell out the few extra bucks for the replacement filters:
Kitchen Compost Kit, 11" - Worm's Way


Sunleaves Wormtopia. Worms ARE included. A bit expensive, though. But one of the best products of this sort on the market:
Sunleaves Wormtopia Kit, 16"x16"x24" - Worm's Way

On a related note... Wormsway is amazing. No matter what you grow, they have what you need. And usually much cheaper, too.

I currently have composting worms. I have them in a large rubber maid box, which isn't really ideal. Its a little bit of work keeping them happy, and keeping the bugs out. I think im sold on this indoor composter.
