It looks like you have posted you blog to the wrong area. This one seems to be in your personal space as opposed to the Design Challenge space.

I think the concept is good as it would be nice to have some sort of machine/box thingy that you could just put organic waste into and get useable compost out of it. This is the basic process of a compost heap and I do much the same with that. Cut up the organic waste into smaller pieces, pile it up, occasionally add some garrotta and then very occasionally remove the rotted material and put onto my vegetable beds, although I have never had any liquid come out of the bottom. There are problems with an automated process as cutting or grinding the waste can be difficult as everything can get jammed up, especially with hard sticks and 'mush'. I do have a stirring rod thingy for the pile but it is really difficult to get it to turn and mix up the rotting compost and I'm thinking of getting two compost bins so I can mix up the rotting material by just moving it from one bin to the other.

I look forward to seeing your implementation.

Seems an advanced idea of compost. Good start.
