Fiancé and I Got a vitamix foodcycler for Christmas, literally 3 ish easy steps to turning Compost into legitimate dirt...the instructions advise not to ingest the contents of the cycled matter...and i fully agree even though it smells of oriental stir fry and could be passed off as somewhat of a spice or herb for that next exotic dish...but don’t do it. It’s a bit of a long ish cycle, the yield is impressive. I have found that chopping up things like lime peels or avocado skins allows more material to be used. We are vegan plant based eaters, we use this thing every day and it’s amazing! 

You could go the route of adding in the fertilizer tabs, but honestly nitro is nitro, throw the dirt in the garden now and let nature do it’s work. 

This little machine puts out less decibels then a washing machine, almost compared to a newer dishwasher..sometimes some odd brief noises when grinding. Not recommended in a studio at night hahaha. You won’t regret this.
