I just got my Nature Mill a few months ago.  Darn!  Now they have the new color models out and I really want a red one.  Oh well.  Such is life with new technology. 

But I have to say, it really works great, even if it is the plain black version.  It just chuggs away quietly in my kitchen (had to carve out a corner for it and now there is no space for my little pathetic wine rack).  I was a little concerned about using power to make compost, which seems to defeat the purpose, although it uses less power than a nightlight and I whave a few so I will just unplug one and not feel so guilty.  I've lost count of how many loads of compost I've made, and my plants are extremely happy and I have never seen them to big and healthy.  It's probaly just my imagination but then again you never know. 

Smells kind of like mud.  Looks kind of like mud too.  A little more chunky.  More like coffee grounds, but kind of fruity.  Definitely better than the fish heads I put in there to begin with.  Strange how you can go from fish heads to fuity/muddy/coffee-like substance in just a couple weeks.

My family and I thoroughly enjoy our nature mill. It is one of numerous composters and compost piles we have and it is perfect for indoor potted plants and other small areas. It only takes two weeks to compost and it requires no turning or manual flipping. The amount of electricity used is the equivalence to the amount our toaster uses and it is quiet too. The Nature mill is great for people just starting out with composting!
