Food Waste Digesters
Even the most committed food waste reducers will still produce small amounts of food waste. A food waste digester is a great solution - helping you to dispose of your food waste in your own garden.
Several food waste digesters are now available to purchase via Green Cone (please download leaflet below).
Green Cone
The green cone is a food waste digester that breaks down all food waste into its natural components of water and carbon dioxide leaving minimal residue.
The green cone consists of a basket, which must be buried in the ground, and the cone, which is visible above ground. The green cone works best in areas with free draining soil and sunny conditions. The green cone is suitable for all types of food waste, but not garden waste. The green cone does not produce compost or any product that you can use in your garden.
Green Johanna
The Green Johanna may look similar to a traditional compost bin, but in fact allows you to compost all food and garden waste. The Green Johanna produces a compost which may be used in your garden. It also has a rodent-proof base plate and the compost is easily accessed through two sliding doors. The Green Johanna should be situated in a shady part of your garden.
Bokashi Kitchen Composters
Bokashi Kitchen Composters are air-tight containers which allow you to compost food waste. The containers come with Bokashi Bran which must be sprinkled onto the food waste to begin the fermentation process. The Bokashi performs the first stages of decomposition using active micro-organisms. After a little patience, the contents can be safely transferred into your traditional compost bin or wormery, or simply dug into the garden.
Water Butts are now also available!
