The Composter is a feature in ⏣ The Garden that allows the player to create Compost. The Composter takes 10 minutes to create each Compost, consuming 4000 Organic Matter and 2000 Machine Fuel per Compost continuously in the process. However, these values can be improved by upgrading the Composter.

Organic Matter
When inserted into the Composter, certain items can be converted into Organic Matter. Items cannot be taken out of the Composter once they have been inserted. 4000 Organic Matter is needed to make each Compost, excluding upgrades. The best item to buy from the Bazaar for making Organic Matter is currently
Enchanted Poisonous Potato at 0 coins per 4000 Organic Matter. On ♲ Ironman profiles,
Enchanted Seeds and
Box of Seeds are good because visitors don't ask for Seeds.
The following table gives the Organic Matter value for all known compostable items. All Organic Matter values below are exact. For example,
Potatoes are worth exactly 0.33 organic matter, not 1/3. However, the amount per 4000 organic matter is rounded.
Note that a
Condensed Fermento can only be used with sufficient Composter upgrades because they are worth more than the base limit of 40,000 Organic Matter.
Upgrades
There are 5 Composter Upgrades available for the Composter.
- Composter Speed (requires
Garden 2): Increases Composter production speed by 20% per tier. The maximum speed is +500%, or 6x. Without the Multi Drop upgrade, each tier of this upgrade increases the Composter's production rate by 1.2 Compost per hour, worth about 20,135 coins before accounting for Multi Drop. - Multi Drop (requires
Garden 4): When Compost is produced, grants a 3% chance per tier to produce an extra one. The maximum chance is 75%. Without the Composter Speed upgrade, each tier of this upgrade increases the Composter's production rate by 0.18 Compost per hour on average, worth about 3,020.3 coins. - Fuel Cap (requires
Garden 6): Increases the maximum Machine Fuel that the Composter can hold by 30,000 per tier. Including the base value, the maximum limit is 850,000 Machine Fuel. - Organic Matter Cap (requires
Garden 8): Increases the maximum amount of Organic Matter that can be stored by 30,000 per tier. Including the base value, the maximum limit is 790,000 Organic Matter. - Cost Reduction (requires
Garden 10): Reduces the amount of Organic Matter and Machine Fuel required to produce Compost by 1% per tier. The maximum reduction is 25%, which results in the consumption of 3,000 Organic Matter and 1,500 Machine Fuel per Compost.
A Composter with all Composter Upgrades maxed out would produce an average of
63x Compost per hour. For each hour, it would consume 108,000 Organic Matter and 54,000 Machine Fuel. It could run unattended for exactly 5 hours before running out of Organic Matter, making an average of
315x Compost in that time. Even with the Organic Matter Cap upgrade maxed out, the first 6 upgrades of the Fuel Cap are enough for the Organic Matter to be depleted fully.
The table below gives the cost for each Composter Upgrade. The columns labeled Copper and Rare Crop Cost are the amount of Copper and Rare Crops needed to increase one of the upgrades to that tier. This cost is the same for each of the upgrades at that tier. The other columns are costs that only apply to the Composter Upgrade shown in the column heading.
