Here is a simple and green idea from designer Patrice Mouillé – a ceramic stand that serves as a plant pot and a compost station. Vertuo, a worm composter, consists of five sections. The compost goes through traps between them, producing liquid fertilizer for your home greenery.

Fill it initially with the composting mix – carton, sand, eggshells, soil, water and earthworms. Each time you produce more organic waste – add it to the top compartment to continue the composting process.

Vertuo can be safely put on a balcony – the ceramic will maintain the perfect level of humidity. This little composting machine can feed all your home plants. And your aesthetic senses too.
