My review of the Norpro Compost Keeper…riveting.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF9ReiPl8B4 Earlier this morning, my new kitchen compost crock showed up at my door.  I was so psyched to get this...I think a little too psyched for what seems like a glorified jar. I've used a clear Tupperware container on my counter top for years, and I've had people get bummed on it because they can see the contents of it.  Personally, I like seeing the compost soup, but whatever.  So I thought it would be interesting to get a compost keeper to see if the charcoal filter was worth it or just really excessive.  I've decided to leave it full of scraps and see how long it takes before it starts smelling...I'll keep you posted on it.
