A Message from Our CEO, Kohei Sato
“I am truly honored to see ROOF Compost featured in
Vegetable News. Our brand is designed for apartment dwellers and urban residents who may feel distanced from community gardens or personal plots. We strive to create opportunities for individuals to engage with nature, and this feature validates our efforts.”
Kohei emphasizes the need for easy access to gardening, even in urban settings: “Our goal is to ensure that even those without a traditional garden space can enjoy the benefits of growing plants. Featuring in this magazine is a significant step forward in recognizing urban gardening and our efforts.”
What is ROOF Compost?
ROOF Compost is an innovative system that combines
cedar chips and fermented wood microbes using unique formulation techniques. This powerful combination enables the decomposition of kitchen waste into organic compost through the action of microorganisms.
The application is straightforward—users simply need to collect their food scraps and follow the three-step process:
put in, mix, and cover. The miraculous microorganisms do the rest, effectively eliminating unpleasant odors while transforming waste into nutrient-rich compost suitable for balcony gardens.
You receive a fermentation substrate along with the ROOF Compost, allowing you to start your sustainable journey on the very day it arrives. It’s not just about reducing waste; it’s about transforming that waste into resources and enjoying a small ecosystem in your home.
