WARNING: Compost from an Electronic Composter can Harm Plants🙈🙉🙊 Results of a Seedling Test

Seedling test shows the danger of using material from an electronic composter.
The manufacturer of Nagual contacted me and said the following:
"First of all, the electronic composter's end product is highly concentrated nutrients and may burn the plant if not handle properly.
1. the plants that you use in the video are way too little while the compost are way too much in ratio.
2. the compost should stay away from plants' roots
3. compost should only touches soils, not plants. "
1) no compost is high in nutrients - even well made compost has an NPK of less then 1-1-1. The nutrients in the dried kitchen scraps produced here have almost no plant available nutrients. The company does not understand what plant "nutrients" are.
2) What good is compost if you can't put it near plants? The problem here is that the material produced is not compost - which is the conclusion in the video.

Most efficient method to reuse kitchen scraps is laying hens and worms. I hate seeing this lomi ad, absolutely disgusting.

I love people that truly honor the scientific method. I wish all YT videos had this level of integrity.

They should not be allowed to market these as composters when they don't do any composting.

I bought one this around Christmas time last year for reduce my kitchen scrap and the odour free. My family likes seafood. The shells can be very bad smell if you don’t take out right away. And after in green bin one week, the smell very bad. So we only eat seafood on the weekend, because Monday is garbage day. Having this machine now we can eat seafood anytime we want. The machine drys and compress the waste very well. After 6 months use this machine, we only got less than 10lbs dry waste. It is works grate! I mix the waste with 80% soil and leave it in container to fermentation for next year to use. Looking forward Organic fertilizer.

Thanks! I didn’t understand how composting could happen in less than a day. Now I understand - it doesn’t!

So there’s one called Lomi and the express mode is 3-5 hours and it says not to use as compost but then they have a grow mode and it goes for 16hrs and that’s what you can use with plants. I’d love to see how this one goes up against an experiment like this.

It seems like the only way this thing would work is if the stuff then went through a worm bin.

Thank you, this convinced me not to waste $500 on Lumi!!

Thank you so much for this video, that’s how I find you. I seen one video of a electric compost and I was amazing of it but I was skeptical because it did it only in a couple hours , so I need some more research about it and this video made up my mind going to stick with natural compost , going to buy a Tumblr now thank you 😊

This was the exact video I've been looking for. Ever since the Lomi and other "home composters" have been taking over my social media ads for the past 2 yrs, I've regularly said myself "that isn't real compost". I haven't seen anything mentioning the beneficial microbes that are present in real compost that takes weeks to a month to create. It's exactly what you said, dried up material. Now, I guess I could probably add this to my REAL compost bin to substitute for the browns, but putting this straight on my plants? Nope.

This was exactly the video I needed. I was about to waste money on one. Thanks so much. Great video.

Thank you for posting your experiment; recently seeing adverts for this equipment, and was wondering how it compared to a “worm-bin”.

Thanks for another great vid. I've really got a lot out of your Soil Science book. Can't wait for your next one!

I've been using Lomi for several weeks and love it! The ratio suggested with potting mix is :1 compost to 10 potting mix.

I will be keeping an eye out for your new book for sure!! Thank you once again for informing us.

I agree with you 100%, put it in the regular compost bin to finish composting or deep in the dirt in the Spring before planting or spread it on the top of the dirt in the winter, all for all, don't use it directly after it come out of the machine, it is not a finished product, it will burn the plants.

The first reason I would not get one of these is the filters cost $60 per year. No reason for that. Outrageous.

This was a super comprehensive review! Thanks so much.

@emeraldsartistryfacebodyar9135

This is a great reality check. I wonder if it's OK to put into my regular Compost Bin, though. Maybe it will just speed up the normal process in there.
