Lomi makes garbage optional<\/h2>\n

In 3 easy steps<\/h3>\n

Did you know that food waste accounts for 24% of landfill materials in the US? It is considered the largest category of material found in municipal landfills. Sadly, 72% of Americans don't compost their food waste.<\/p>\n

Some of the reasons could be lack of information, lack of a municipal drop-off compost center, and not knowing there are countertop composters you can use at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you're conscious about your carbon footprint or want to make compost soil at home, the Lomi Compost Machine is a fantastic composter that can sit on your countertop and do everything for you. From composting food waste and kitchen scraps into soil-like dirt to making nutrient-rich soil for your garden, the Lomi Composter is the perfect at-home machine for anyone who wants to enjoy composting in the most convenient way possible.<\/p>\n

We tried the machine ourselves, and this review will talk about the Lomi's features, how it works, its pros and cons, and whether or not you should buy it for your needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is the Lomi Composter?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

The Lomi Composter is manufactured by the brand Pela, and it claims to reduce the volume of food waste by up to 90%. It is a countertop composter that's easy to use, clean, and works fast. <\/p>\n

It comes with a stainless steel bucket that can accommodate 2 liters of food waste. Within hours, it can turn food scraps, kitchen trimmings, soft bone, leftover meat, bioplastics and packaging, and plant trimmings into usable compost.<\/p>\n

You have to fill the bucket with food waste and choose from three different modes, and you get compost in just hours.<\/p>\n

In my family's case, we could fill the 2-liter bucket within 2 to 3 days. We put leftover food, scraps from cutting vegetables, small pieces of meat, chicken cartilage, and rotten veggies and fruits.<\/p>\n

We have a small herb garden out in the yard, so we used the Grow Mode to make nutrient-rich soil and added it to our existing garden soil.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

No Mess Clean-Up<\/h4>

Lomi's 2L bucket is dishwasher safe and easy to clean.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Odor Neutralized<\/h4>

Lomi uses filters with activated charcoal to eliminate any odors produced in the composting process<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Produce Nutrient-Rich Dirt<\/h4>

Lomi produces ready-to-use dirt that can be used for all your indoor and outdoor plants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Runs Quietly<\/h4>

Lomi can work while you and your family sleep. It makes less noise than most household appliances.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Fits Any Kitchen Size<\/h4>

Lomi is only 16\" x 13\" x 12\" (about the size of a bread maker).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Quick Turnaround<\/h4>

Lomi is able to break down your food waste in as little as 4 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Break Down Bioplastics<\/h4>

Lomi's exclusive 'Lomi Approved' mode is able to break down approved bioplastics and packaging.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to Use the Lomi Composter?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We were pretty surprised that there was no learning curve to using this machine. We filled the bucket within three days and turned on the Grow Mode. In 20 hours, we had a good amount of nutrient-rich soil to use in our garden.<\/p>\n

The Lomi Composter is very easy to use, but you have to know that it's pretty large. It will take up space on your countertop, so make sure you have room for it in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

The machine has Eco Express Mode, Lomi Approved Mode, and Grow Mode.<\/h3>\n

Of course, we tried all modes.<\/p>\n

If you want a quick way to make compost, use the Eco Express. It takes about 3 to 5 hours to produce dirt that you can throw into your green bin or a drop-off compost center. In this mode, you can only fill the bucket with actual food waste, so no meat, soft bone, or bioplastics.<\/p>\n

If you want to break down food waste, bioplastics, and packaging, you must use the Lomi Approved mode. It takes about 5 to 8 hours to make compost from these materials. You can also add soft bone or leftover meat and bioplastics such as compostable straws, biodegradable cutlery, or paper.<\/p>\n

Like the compost produced with Eco Express, you can bring the soil-like dirt to a drop-off compost center or into your green bin. The Lomi Composter is relevant despite still having to get your compost to a green bin or drop-off center because most of these compost facilities only accept food waste. But with the Lomi Composter, you can add other biodegradable materials to create a lightweight and versatile soil.<\/p>\n

And lastly, if you want to make nutrient-rich soil you can use in your garden or as a natural fertilizer, use the Grow Mode. The Lomi Composter comes with 45 LomiPods, which are tablets that include a proprietary blend of probiotics, which help improve the soil output and enhance the speed of degradation of your food waste.<\/p>\n

We've been using this Mode because, as I said, we have our herb garden at home, and we've always wanted to use homemade fertilizer on our plants. So far, we've only used up about 10 of the LomiPods, but as soon as we run out, we'll be ordering more. We haven't bought any fertilizers since having the Lomi at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
