As a compact countertop food recycler, Lomi is the fastest and easiest way to create fresh, organic fertilizer in your home. With its discrete design and small size, Lomi fits in anywhere and runs on very little electricity. By adding the same food scraps you’d otherwise throw away to your Lomi, you can easily start to produce safe, effective fertilizer for your plants and lawn.
Why Use Lomi For Your Plants?
As a practice, composting has been around for thousands of years. The basic process is simple: waste and discarded food products are placed in a heap and allowed to decompose, producing rich, nutrient-filled compost.
Technology has improved upon the basic “sit and wait” technique. Today, in addition to the traditional methods, you can create an alternative to compost with the help of electronic food recyclers like Lomi. The resulting fertilizer, called Lomi Earth, is great for your soil and plants.
For plants, the obvious benefit of compost is found in its nutritional value. The effects of adding some compost to your soil can range from faster growth to a more beautiful, healthier plant.
- Reducing your carbon footprint
- Limiting methane emissions from landfills
- Improving soil’s water retention abilities and reducing water use
What Is Lomi?
Lomi is a compact solution to an emerging problem. In addition to the cost of buying compost or fertilizer, the environmental toll of shipping those bags adds to the strain on the environment. By creating your own natural fertilizer with Lomi, you mitigate both of these issues.
With the press of a button, Lomi can turn some of your food waste into fresh, organic fertilizer. In as little as 48 hours, some table scraps can be converted into food for your herb garden or lawn.
How Does Lomi Work?
Lomi is a multi-step process within a small and powerful machine.
The first stage of Lomi’s is grinding. Smaller food pieces are easier to break down than larger chunks. Increased aeration and surface area make it easier for microorganisms to break down the waste. (You can help your Lomi process food faster by cutting large chunks into smaller pieces.)
After this, Lomi lets nature do the rest of the work. There are two primary modes of operation for Lomi: Grow Mode and Eco-Express Mode.
What Does Lomi Produce?
At the end of each cycle, you’re left with fresh, readily available, natural fertilizer. While other countertop food recyclers will output dehydrated food or overly concentrated sludge, Lomi produces ready-to-use, soil-like dirt. This material is safe to handle and free of any harsh, unnecessary chemicals.
Grow Mode End Product
Grow Mode is the longest-running setting, running up to 18 hours. This longer run time allows for the material to break down fully as it completes each phase of the process.
Eco-Express Mode End Product
Eco-Express mode is great for small batches of food scraps or when you’re in a rush. The run time for this setting ranges from 3-5 hours.
How To Use Lomi End Product
Because Lomi creates fresh, useful fertilizer, called Lomi Earth, it is best used straight away! You’ll want to temper this effectiveness by diluting it a bit. Most plants will thrive in a soil with a 1:10 ratio; one part Lomi Earth to ten parts soil. Alternatively, you can add it to an existing home compost pile or green bin and allowing it to age a bit more.
Why Choose Lomi?
As far as home solutions go, none can come close to the adaptability and usefulness of Lomi.
- Fast: Lomi r ecycles your food waste in as little as 4 hours..
- Reduced Waste: Food that would otherwise end up in landfills becomes natural nutrients for your plants. This means that you’ll be taking up less space at the dump and emitting fewer toxic chemicals into the air.
- Save Money: In addition to saving on garbage bags, you’ll also find yourself buying less fertilizer and plant boosters from the store.
TL;DR
Lomi is an adaptable, easy-to-use, one-button-press solution to your home food waste problems. Whether you simply need a way to efficiently break down scraps for your larger composting operation or you just don’t have space to compost traditionally, Lomi is the right choice for you.
