I want something that can handle a combo of kitchen scraps, grass clippings, and old garden waste. Any ideas?

This unit sits on your kitchen counter. It chops up orange peels, celery leftovers, banana peels. Things that won't decompose for a year if not chopped up. Then you throw all that into the larger outdoor composter with the grass clippings and weeds. You will need a compost container too.

This works great for kitchen scraps, but way to small for any garden scraps. It sits on our counter and is slightly larger than a toaster. We empty it about (5) times a week. I would think that while it is a great product it is not what you are looking for.

This product is too small for everything you are looking for. since this unit comparatively handles small volumes, it is best suited for kitchen scarps.

This little grinder can do that, I will warn you that it's countertop size and the little pull out collection drawer is fairly small (about 6x10x 4cm) however I like to empty it at the end of each day just to keep it clean, so it collects a whole day's worth of kitchen scraps in our house without odor or hassle. If you're talking about garden waste and grass clippings as well, you may want to look for something larger... this is more for indoor/kitchen counter top use. Hope that helps. Denise

I don't know as I do not use it for those items. I bought it to chip dried seaweed, which is hard and brittle. Banana peels are very high in fiber like corn husks and artichoke pedals. They do not do well in a garbage disposal, so maybe not a good idea for this unit. Banana peels decompose so quickly, I wouldn't worry about chopping them up.

The grass catcher works decently well, but some grass falls between the Reel Mower and the catcher.As for sturdiness, the GreenWorks mower feels INCREDIBLY sturdy.

I have used this mainly for outside picking up limbs trash and some rocks, no doubt it can pick up a jar of pickles, I would add though, you need a good grip strength, something I lack because of arthritis, the tool will undoubtably do the job in my opinion

The Norpro chopper is fairly mess free. It will chop tomatoes easily without pulverizing them, same with onions. It's a bit of a pain to put together every time you want to use it.

Thank you.Living in Australia, water is very scarce so synthetic grass is the thing. Right over our lawn, we have a large "Greenstead Conifer" which drops heaps of pine needles and small conifer nuts. These are a nightmare to pick up as the sweeper tends to throw them over the side and not into the catching bag.Thanks againGeoff Clark

I would buy the Bissell Sweeper. It works really well, for in between clean up. It's great with the dog hair...am very pleased with it.

No, you should buy a hay rake for that. Or see if a neighbor can do it for you. There is a huge difference between grass clippings and hay.

Yes, it works well for leaves and clippings but it does get very heavy when the grass/leaves are wet. My husband likes it and we have a huge yard so he can do it in three passes without having to empty the bag. It is a good investment!

It would work well to churn compost as it's made to cultivate the soil. The edges are not sharp, but rugged.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

Maybe it's worth your while to spend a little time at yard sales/garage sales and you just might find a really spiffy food processor with all the gadgets....unless you hate doing that sort of thing!

I have a compost heap out in my back yard. I take stuff out to it all year long. Some people have 2. One cooking and one building. You can do it however you like, obviously.

I recycle plastic grocery bags. If I had to buy something to fit, I would use any kind of small but durable trash bag.

You can buy corn based home compostable liners that fit pretty much any compost bin. Also, you can make one out of newspaper. And just one note, the point of a compost pail is to compost and make good soil for a garden, not to throw it in the trash. Regular plastic bags don't break down so basically whatever is in them is mumified for eternity. Composting eliminates waste and makes yummy plant food.

No, I do not believe it's large enough for this purpose. I use it for trash & recycle.

I either empty the Rake & Go onto the street, or onto a tarp, and then into a garbage bag. The Rake & Go is a great piece of equipment. We use it all year long.
