Rain Barrels

Garden thirsty? Harvest the rain to water your garden and plants. Save money on water bills while helping to protect your local rivers and aquifers. Storing rain water keeps storm run off from overloading your community's storm drains. Using rain water instead of pumped well water or treated municipal water keeps salts out of your garden and keeps water in aquifers and reservoirs for other uses. In stock again after a dry spell (we sold out earlier in the year), our rain barrels are re-used food-grade plastic barrels. $85 Learn more »

NatureMill Indoor / Outdoor Electric Composter

Looking for the fastest, easiest and most fool-proof method to turn kitchen waste into rich compost? Try a NatureMill Plus. We've never seen a composter work as quickly and reliably as the new NatureMills. This year's models (Plus, Pro and Pet Friendly) are a huge advance over last year's. The NatureMill Plus composts up to 120 pounds of food waste per month--and this isn't just marketing hype. It really does work. You can use it indoors or outdoors throughout the year, even in rain, sleet or snow. We hooked ours up to a Kill-a-Watt to see how much power the heater, fan and mixing bar use. At just 17 watts (about 2 kWh per week), we think the electricity consumption is well worth it to produce compost so quickly and easily. (It's certainly better to use this energy to make compost at home than to truck your garbage to the landfill.) These NatureMills are giving our worms bins a run for their money for year-round composting! Learn more »

Can O Worms

For those more inclined to compost biologically than mechanically (see NatureMills above), we offer vermiculture. Conveniently compost your kitchen scraps all year round with the help of hundreds of hungry red wigglers. Now is the perfect time to start a worm colony. By the time cold weather comes you'll have a healthy population built up and ready for winter! Plus, next spring you'll have a nice supply of worm castings, the very best fertilizer you can make.
