Lulubliss is seeking a good looking compost bin (at least not black or green plastic) and since I've been tagging some for awhile on del.icio.us I thought I'd share. Some of these aren't so great either, but there are a few somewhat interesting choices:
I like the NatureMill because it can be used indoors and fits in a kitchen cabinet. It can also go outside, and comes in a variety of colors. The basic one is a little boring so not really cool per se, but its utility is pretty slick.
The Worm Factory has a bit of an Asian flavor to it in terms of styling, and again doesn't satisfy the cool factor but its better than some. Maybe it could be decorated with gold or black Asian lettering.
The Sun Frost Scrap Eater is pretty cool. Made from an old Bordeaux wine barrel, it's designed to sit outside and make rich earth out of kitchen scraps and the like.
The Garden Estate Bin looks nice in terms of its traditional style -- I just wish it weren't made from PVC.
The RotoTherm Cranktec System reminds me of a big Tinker Toy (remember those?); its sort of retro and kind of futuristic looking at the same time. I like the sort of industrial look this one has, even though it is green plastic!
The Earth Engine Double Bin provides an organic, natural look that would blend into many yards well. I suppose it really all depends on what vibe you're going for. Seattle Tilth provides free plans for building your own three bin system that would look similar. Lowe's also offers similar free plans.
The ComposTwin Dual Tumbler seems like a composter in disguise. To me it looks like some sort of lottery machine. I bet it would work well, though. I mean for composting (not lottery drawings).
The Back Porch Tumbler is a little powder coated metal guy that looks like a mysterious tool of some sort. Or a little robot; can you see the face?? Its a nice sage green and can be moved around on its two wheels, which could be very convenient.
But the cutest composter I've found is called Planet Earth. A bit Marvel comics, perhaps, but it could be fun in the right setting.
