What the TMK-5 Composter Does
The TMK-5 is an indoor composter for households that cannot compost outdoors, whether because of space or because of the weather. It ferments kitchen waste within 24 hours into dried organic fertilizer for garden plants. The motor runs below 49 decibels and built-in activated carbon eliminates odours during fermentation, which keeps the unit free of flies and insects in a room people use.
Why This Model and Not the Next One Up
A full cycle in 24 hours instead of the months an outdoor pile needs
Motor below 49 decibels, quiet enough to run in an occupied kitchen

Works for households with no outdoor space and in cold weather
Output is dried organic fertilizer usable directly on garden plants
