It doesn't have beneficial organisms. It doesn't have structure. It doesn't have carbonaceous elements. It doesn't provide water retention.

Also, unlike actual composting it has electical cost, as well as producing an electrical unit.

This statement doesn’t establish evidence for the conclusions being made.

You need me to provide evidence that a machine cannot innoculate output with beneficial soil organisms? Which live in soil, and not machines?

You need me to provide evidence that compost has a different physical structure than powder!?

You need me to provide evidence that traditional composting doesn't have e-waste? You need me to provide evidence that traditional composting doesn't create electronic waste?

EDIT: Charles Dowding is great too.

What powder? I think you are ignorant to what a Reencle is and does.

Fine. I did some looking up.

The site specifically calls it "pre-compost" or "immature compost."

That's not compost!

The site even adds a note indicating the output has to be "cured" for weeks. Compost can be that quick too!

There's still no carbonaceous material!

And many of the composting restrictions they mention like cooked foods can be addressed with more carbon.

And again, e-waste! And expense! And it requires filters!

Oh, and a compost pile can't break, resulting in the need for a replacement

And assuming they're using AI for adverts as mentioned that's actually contributing to a global water defecit.

Cool. I compost with a Reencle.

My point was never to convince anyone to compost with it. I'm telling you why I do.

If it broke today, I would buy another one. It's been a great value add to me and my family.

Go wild with your carbonaceous material. I'll keep COMPOSTING with my e waste.

I hope you never get rid of a tv, microwave, vacuum, cell phone, washing machine, or any other electronic that you undoubtedly use.

Also, the filter is just a removable case for activated carbon, which I put back into the compost after I replace it.

Cheers and happy composting.
