The Compost Monitor is one of three devices that will be implemented in a futuristic neighborhood that we are imagining. In this neighborhood, people rely on homegrown produce as a main food source. In order to make an individual task into a more community-wide effort, these three products promote collaboration among neighbors and encourage helping each other by publicizing progress made. Compost is an important ingredient in helping gardens flourish, and is an eco-friendly way to repurpose waste into something beneficial to the whole community. We hope that neighborhoods that use this compost monitor will be encouraged to help each other and their shared gardens.
