So often we talk about how green design should also be good design. Here is an example: where most composters are dull plastic things in the corner, this one will look great in your garden. Where most composters are square, "The BluePlanetSMART’s round shape gives it a surface/volume ratio that is smaller than for any other shape. The smaller the ratio, the less the impact of heat loss on the total heat generated and the faster the decomposition." It easily rotates to aerate the compost.It also collects up to 4 gallons of "compost tea" in the base and has a scale built in to let you know how much is there. Faster composting, better function, better looking- that's a combination we like.::BluePlanetSMART
