RolyPig Composter Makes Gardening Fun For Kids
April 2, 2009 – 10:11 pm by LindsayThere are all sorts of fun garden tools out there to help the kids get interested in your backyard vegetable garden, but this is the first kid-friendly composter I’ve seen. And to be quite honest, I’d love to have one too. It’s shaped like a pig–what’s not to love?
Check out the company’s video to see how it works (in the second half, they go into their mole-shaped worm composter, which is kind of cute as well):
Alas, the piggy composter costs about $350 in the U.S., so if you’re trying to garden to save money, this wouldn’t be the least expensive way to get into composting (there are lots of plans on the Internet on how to build a basic composting system using little more than a few used wood pallets cadged from a local store). But if you’ve got the money to spare and are looking for ways to make gardening appealing to the kids, this could be an option.

What fun my kiddos would have had going around telling people how they get to ‘roll the pig’:)
