Opportunity
- Greater Vancouver has numerous community gardens that could benefit from a consistent and proven method of composting that automatically reports conditions to those managing the composter or to the community as a whole.
- Our proven system produces results in 5 to 9 days and is simple to use.
- Composters provide real time data that can be presented on web sites using low cost, low power, green power systems.
· Local Businesses could generate their own compost to give to gardens and save on disposal costs
