What Can I Do With Foodilizer?
What exactly is a FoodCycler? Beyond being an elegant solution for anyone wondering how to recycle food waste at home, it’s a gardener’s best friend!
Our food waste solution transforms food scraps into a nutrient-rich by-product, called Foodilizer, that helps plants thrive. Here’s how to use it:
Feed Your Garden
Mix your Foodilizer into the soil in your garden or potted plants just like traditional fertilizer! The minimum recommended ratio of by-product to soil is 1:20. If your by-product contains a lot of meat and/or dairy products, we recommend that you increase the ratio to 1:25.
For the best results, we recommend mixing in your Foodilizer with the soil 4-6 weeks prior to planting seeds or transplanting plants. This will allow the by-product to break down and properly nourish the soil.
Plants love our food waste solutions!
Add It to Your Compost
Mix your Foodilizer into your existing backyard composter, or give it to a friend who composts! Foodilizer will accelerate the composting process.
- We recommend that you only add Foodilizer to non-tumbling composters.
- We recommend using the by-product as a “green” (or nitrogen) compost element, incorporating the “brown” (or carbon) materials at the same ratio you normally would with regular food scraps. Your carbon elements can be paper products or dead leaves.
Give it to Others
Give your Foodilizer to family and friends who garden or compost. You could also donate it to a local farmer, community garden, or garden center to use as fertilizer.
Should I Throw it Away?
This food waste solution aligns with an eco-friendly lifestyle. Foodilizer is much easier on landfills and the planet as a whole.
While you can simply toss your Foodilizer with your regular garbage, we recommend upcycling it!
Answers to Your Foodilizer Questions
Mold in your garden soil indicates that your by-product has begun to break down in the soil. That’s a good sign! If you're concerned about mold at any point, you can simply sprinkle some cinnamon (a natural antibacterial) around the area of concern.
Your Foodilizer will vary in color and texture, depending on the composition of the materials you added to the cycle. Typically, our food waste solution produces a fine, dry by-product with an earthy brownish color.
You can store your Foodilizer indefinitely in a sealed container/bucket. The material will not degrade as long as it’s kept dry!
If you notice that your garden plot smells or shows evidence of attracting critters after incorporating your Foodilizer, this indicates that the by-product is not properly mixed into the soil. Add more soil to the area and mix well.
Please note that Foodilizer will produce odors and methane emissions if exposed to liquid and left in anaerobic conditions (such as in your garbage bin or an untended compost pile).
To ensure that your food waste solution remains odorless and environmentally friendly, incorporate Foodilizer into an aerobic environment (garden soil or a regularly maintained/turned compost pile).
