Composting is the best way to deal with organic waste, as it returns valuable organic matter to the soil in the form of easy to handle compost. Efficient composting is essential especially now that rubbish bins are being emptied less (often left for 2 weeks). Home composting can be broken down into 2 main areas :- Kitchen waste i.e. veg peelings, left over cooked food,tea leaves, coffee grinds & stale bread, dust from your vacuum cleaner and packaging waste such as cardboard. Garden waste i.e. lawn clippings, weeds, leaves, hedge trimmings etc. Click Here to visit our easy to use composting table. The Earthmaker Composter is a revolutionary composting bin, which can compost BOTH garden and kitchen waste. It has three different chambers and uses gravity to take the hard work out of composting. Earthmaker Composter - Fresh waste is tipped into the top of The Earthmaker. Within days this waste will start to heat up and reduce in volume, so more waste can be added. After several weeks, pull out the panel which separates the first chamber from the rest of the bin allowing the partially composted waste to tumble into the middle chamber. The panel can then be replaced and fresh waste added to the top chamber. The compost in the middle chamber will continue to compost before eventually spilling down into the lower chamber, where it can be harvested form the door in the front. As the top chamber refills, the whole process is repeated with the composter producing fully worked compost in as little as 12 weeks. The Earthmaker Composter measures 1200mm high x 750mm wide and holds 466 litres. The Earthmaker process is so simple as there is no need for digging, turning and aerating - gravity does all the work. It come flat packed and is very easy to assemble as it just clips together - no tools or screws are required. It is safe to compost kitchen waste too as the fresh waste is isolated in the top chamber and will not attract vermin. Produced over twice as much compost as traditional control bins in trials by HDRA. Comes complete with a useful "push-pull"composting tool.
