NatureMill Sawdust Pellets

A healthy ratio of dry and wet materials is essential to successful composting. These NatureMill Sawdust Pellets balance and maintain the natural chemistry of your decomposing materials and improve the quality of your compost.

Designed for NatureMill kitchen composters and other compost bins, these sawdust pellets should be added as you add food waste: one cup of sawdust pellets for every 4-5 cups of food waste. The pellets are dry and dust-free, unlike sawdust you might get a local lumber yard. They are made from dry, untreated, unpainted wood and help reduce odors that arise from wet materials like fruit, vegetables, and meat. This 6-month supply includes 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) total weight of sawdust pellets.

About NatureMill
From activists to engineers, the people of NatureMill have aimed to make a difference. They recycle paper, bottles, and cans, read newspapers online and favor environmentally friendly products and packaging. Some even walk or bike to work. Despite their commitment to reduce, reuse, recycle, they still found themselves producing shameful amounts of trash. This was when they ventured head first into backyard composting, first with a humble kitchen crock. They soon discovered, after forgetting to clean their crock, that the waste was warm. Microorganisms were hard at work. The compost process had begun. Just a little more oxygen, some mechanical mixing, and a strong air filter would accelerate the process and eliminate the odors and bugs. Dozens of patents and prototypes later, the NatureMill was born.
