Why You Should Compost

Composting benefits the environment, your garden and your community. Making compost reduces trash, creates free soil fertilizer, helps soil to retain moisture and resist erosion, improves garden yields, turns waste into a valuable resource, saves limited landfill space, and recycles nutrients back into the soil.

Composting is also surprisingly rewarding and enjoyable for many people, even people who thought they weren't the composting type. Watching your kitchen scraps and yard trimmings transform into rich, nutritious fertilizer for your garden is a thrill!

What's wrong with stuffing your kitchen scraps down the disposal, you ask?

It's not really wrong; just wasteful (and hard on some plumbing). There is so much energy in organic waste like vegetable scraps, and composting so easily harnesses that energy and directs it back into the ecosystem, via your garden. Rather than putting synthetic chemical fertilizers on your lawn and garden, why not use the organic materials you've already got?

Green Johanna Hot Composter with Winter Jacket

Green Johanna Hot Composter with Winter Jacket Review



Green Johanna Hot Composter with Winter Jacket Feature

  • Includes winter jacket to accelerate composting time in winter months
  • Designed to be rodent proof
The is different from a standard compost bin because it is designed to be rodent proof and is well insulated. This means that the composting process is quicker than in a standard compost bin and you can put in all types of food waste, including cooked food, bones, fish and meat, which should not be added to a standard compost bin. The Green Johanna features a winter jacket which can be used to accelerate the composting process. The winter jacket helps to speed up the composting process in wintertime when the composting process slows down due to low
air temperature. The jacket should be fitted when the average temperature falls below 40° F and removed when the temperature
is consistently above 50° F. It is important to remember to remove the jacket when the temperature rises. This is because if the compost becomes too hot the
creatures which make compost can die, halting the composting process. It is important that you put both green (wet) and
brown (dry) materials into your composter. A good starting point is to use one part brown materials to two parts green.
Green materials are wet and contain lots of nitrogen. They break down quickly and help to keep the compost moist.
Brown materials contain lots of carbon. They break down more slowly and add structure to your compost. It is important to have structure within your compost to create air pockets which allow air to circulate and enable the creatures which make your compost to breath and move around your compost.Please do not place the following in your Green Johanna:Cat or dog litterCoal or coke ash (wood ash is ok)Diseased plantsDiapers, glass, plastic or metal

Tumbleweed Pet Poo/Vermicomposter

Tumbleweed Pet Poo/Vermicomposter Review



Tumbleweed Pet Poo/Vermicomposter Feature

  • Turns pet droppings into lush, rich, healthy fertilizer
  • Consists of two sturdy nesting boxes with a lid
  • Includes legs
  • Constructed of UV-treated polypropylene
The is a new way to dispose of your pet's droppings. This composter allows you to turn pet droppings into lush, rich, healthy fetilizer for your garden. This composter consists of two studry nesting boxes with a lid, which form a neat, compact portable unit. The worms eat and breed in the top box. And the perforated base allows any liquid waste to drain through to the bottom. Constructed of UV-treated polypropylene this composter is unique for creating at home compost.How it works: The worm castings remain in the top box and can be harvested as desired. The bottom box collects the valuable liquid waste which can be diluted and used as a fertilizer on your ornamental plants. Commercial worm farmers rear their worms on manure so using dog droppings is no different. The worms must maintain the same diet and must be fed exclusively on pet poo (other scraps must be separated) because animal waste contains pathogens that can grow in food waste faster than the worms can handle. Worms feed on the pathogens in the soil and as they burrow their way through the compost, their stomach strains out the bacteria and parasites for them to eat. In their wake, worms leave behind an increased volume of beneficial bacteria - the same bacteria that digest pathogens and help free up nutrients in the soil.What can go into this composter: Vermicomposters are primarily design for dog droppings, but they can also handle ferret and cat droppings if the waste is not mixed with gravel. Other animal waste that can be composted includes droppings from rabbits, hedgehogs, prairie dogs, chinchillas, and a few other pets. Animal waste from pure herbivores doesn't require a pet waste composter though - this waste is pathogen free and can be placed in compost piles or compost bins. Do not compost bird or pig waste it contains many pathogens that can harm humans, and should be disposed of just like human waste.
