Hi
I came across an advert in today's paper about a plant food maker. Basically its a plastic container, with a built-in 'watering can', into which you put your green compostables, and drain off the resulting 'soup'. A sort of modern uptake on the nettle food scenario I suppose.
Has anyone tried it? Is it worth £29.99 (or, let's face it, £30). After all, surely not every bit of peeling or kitchen/green waste has the potential nutrient value of, for instance, nettles. Or does it?
Would be interested to hear views on this.
Regards, Caro

If it is like this Plant Food Maker (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0089M9Q2O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0089M9Q2O&linkCode=as2&tag=aldershomodel-21) then I think I would be of the same opinion as the single reviewer.
I think a bucket and a stick would be just as good.

What an utter waste of money!!
A big bucket will do the same job - dont buy it!

That's going to be one smelly bucket! Better to put the stuff on the compost, or better, in a wormery.

I was assuming the green waste was vegetable waste! (How do I edit a reply?)

Sling your vegetable waste, or anything else organic, in a bucket of water and leave it till it's well smelly. Then water it in round your veg. It'll do just as well, and save your £30.
