- Can My Facebook Marketplace Gadget Beat My Old School Composting in Just a Day?" - that's what we're finding out!
Hey everyone! Today's video is a fun experiment I've been on a mission to find the best way to turn leftovers and food scraps into awesome compost for my garden, without it being a big hassle. I started with a big three-part bin that needed lots of work, then tried a spinning composter, but both were kind of a pain, especially during Iowa winters.
But then, I found this cool gadget called Reencle on Facebook Marketplace. It was a steal at $150, down from $500! It promises to turn your kitchen scraps into compost in just one day. So, I had to see if it really works and if it could make composting way easier for our family.
Join me in this video as we test out the Reencle, see if it lives up to the hype, and find a fun new way to make composting easy and manageable. Will it beat the old methods? Let's figure it out together!

Hi Matthew! This was surely a fund video to watch. Thanks for the review! Just for your information, compost you make through reencle is real compost, but just like other compost, you need curing period of 3weeks before you use it. So i'd recommend you to use it having 3 weeks curing and use! Our customers who use tumblers usually put breaking big chunks in tumbler and put it into reencle when its breaks down, or they add compost from reencle to their backyard compost pile so both of them work actually! hope this was helpful to you!
Thanks for stopping by and offering more insight. What do you mean by, "Our customers who use tumblers usually put breaking big chunks in tumbler and put it into reencle when its breaks down."
@@byMatthewSmithThe Reencle doesn't really handle large scraps all that well. That's why I pre-process my scraps with a FoodCycler before tossing that output into the Reencle. Anything to accelerate time to garden.
@@MikeTrieu Good tip, never heard of a FoodCycler before! I've just been doing extra work on the cutting board before tossing them in.
There are people in their Facebook user group who use the Reencle compost as a compost starter in their outdoor tumblers. The company is from Korea, so I think there are some translation issues, but that is what I see people mentioning on their page is using Reencle compost in tumblers.
@@elishajones1286 Hey, hey! Great minds think alike. Thanks for the heads up.
So do you end up refilling that pellets?
@@MrSubielove no, those are to “seedl the biological active that aids the decomposition. Once it’s alive, it’s like your gut, or a sourdough starter, as long as you keep it healthy, it will decompose.
You dont want the mixture to get that dry. Sometimes you need to add water to it.
You need to leave some in the container at all times, so its inoculated with bacteria, also, it needs to be wet sometimes. To stay active. The pellets at the beginning create life in the machine. It needs to stay moist and you need to never empty it all the way.
If it stays moist, it will get nice and dark, moisture is key to something wonderful !!!
@@25Patman Great feedback, thanks!
It's been a month... whats your opinion? We have a two bin system and a tumbler but we're partly disabled and it's beyond difficult to turn so I've been considering this for over a year. I'd want to go straight into the garden like it says. Something on their website about 1 part reencle to 4 parts soil and let it sit for 3-4 weeks in a bag.... I'd probably just let it sit in my garden beds for a few weeks before planting but yeah lol
I’ve been very happy with how it’s been holding up. The drying feature has worked well when it’s too wet, and it turn into compost quickly. I’ve been adding it to the tumbler, but I may soon cut out the middle man and go straight to the garden. I’ve thought about adding some dirt into a horizontal tumbler to manage the ratios. When trying to empty that vertical tumbler to fill a raised bed the other day, I realized why the guy sold it to me :)
I like the machine, but do you need to prome it every batch, or do you leave some compost in it for the next? Nice idea to add it to the tumbler afterwards. Lets go! Will follow the process with you guys. Have a nice weekend.
You leave a little behind every time and it continues to regenerate. It’s been working pretty well a couple weeks in! Thanks for stopping by!
There's a minimum level line and I usually scoop it out to that line when it fills to the max fill line. And then I combine the compost with potting soil in a 1:4 ratio and sprinkle it around my raised beds after letting the mixture inoculate for about 3 weeks, as per Reencle's guidance. It's a great system. My kitchen trash can also smells much better now that I'm not throwing rotting food into it. I also find I empty that can half as often as I used to.
