NatureMill composter reviews agree that the Plus XE and PRO XE models are extremely durable and user-friendly. However, in order to avoid any potential NatureMill composter problems, it is important for users to thoroughly understand what materials should and should not be used with the composter. Although the NatureMill composter is very resistant to standard wear and tear, using the wrong materials can cause serious damage to the machine.

Recommended Materials to Use to Avoid NatureMill Composter Problems

When selecting materials to compost, a good rule of thumb is to think 'green' and 'brown.' Green items include fruit and vegetable scraps, plant trimmings and grass, tea leaves as well as food items such as eggs, meat, poultry and seafood. Brown items in this case refer to sawdust, wood dust from untreated wood, nuts, straw, coffee grounds and dry flowers. By using only the recommended materials NatureMill composter problems can be avoided altogether.

Additional Tips for Safe Composting

When composting, if you are still able to recognize the materials you put into the composter, then they should probably be avoided in the future (or at least cut into smaller pieces before putting into the machine). Some items simply compost better than others -- for instance, softer items like coffee grounds usually compost better than hard materials like extremely stale bread. It is recommended that if an item is at all questionable, simply add a small amount to the composter as a trial to see how finely it can be composted before adding the full amount. By doing so, you can help prevent potential NatureMill composter problems.
