Bio-Orb Composter - 36" Dia Review



Bio-Orb Composter - 36" Dia Feature

  • 97 gallons
  • Easy to assemble, no tools required
The Bio-Orb Composter - 36" Dia is an environmentally friendly way to turn yard clippings and organic scrap into rich, humus, used to enrich the soil in your garden or yard. The Bio-Orb is designed to make composting fast, easier and neater. The spherical shape maximizes heat retention for faster composting and allows for easy mixing and mobility. The rolling of this tumbler provides oxygen, mixes the material and speeds up the composting process. Roll the Orb every 2 to 10 days. Rolling more often than every two days will not allow proper heat build-up while rolling less often than every 10 days will not provide enough oxygen to the contents to ensure the fast Bio-Orb composting times.

Coir (from Malayalam kayar, cord) is the coarse fibers extracted from the fibrous outer shell of a coconut. Coir is a 100% natural and renewable resource. It has spongy characteristics, possessing excellent air space and drainage with a water holding capacity of > 70%. A compressed brick, block or bale should be soaked in water for at least 15 minutes before using. Coir can expand 5 to 7 times in volume. Make sure you have a large enough container when soaking your coir. Coir can account for up to 40% of a potting mix, so add it to your soil or as an ingredient of your potting mixes. Always keep the coir that you don't use. Coir is a material that will keep its properties and can be stored/covered for several years. Coconut coir helps develop more elaborate & stronger root systems. Ph balanced mixture easily holds nutrients and gradually releases them to the roots. Saves on fertilizer by up to 30% compared to rock wool. It significantly reduces root diseases. Doesn�t contain weeds, seeds, or pathogens. High lignin (>70%) and cellulose content prevents oxidation and shrinkage. Contains organic compounds unavailable in other hydroponic mediums. Replaces the use of sphagnum, and is superior to peat moss and rock wool for structural stability, water absorption and drainage, cation exchange capacity and electrical conductivity.

Worm Factory DS3TT 3-Tray Worm Composter - Terra Cotta

Worm Factory DS3TT 3-Tray Worm Composter - Terra Cotta Review



Worm Factory DS3TT 3-Tray Worm Composter - Terra Cotta Feature

  • Made with post-consumer recycled plastic, Dimensions 16-inch x 16-inch x 13-inch
  • Built in "worm tea" collector tray and spigot for easy draining.
  • Year Round Production
  • Odor Free Operation
  • Expandable up to 7 trays
Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps, junk mail and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Master gardeners agree that compost produced by worms will produce the best results and help your plants thrive. The Worm Factory's unique stackable, multi-tray design makes it the most efficient worm bin composter around. Worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray, and then migrate upward as food sources in that tray are exhausted. By allowing worms to migrate upward, the worms separate themselves from the finished compost that is ready for the garden. Besides the worm castings that are produced through this process, the Worm Factory also produces a second type of compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through your Worm Factory, taking nutrient-rich particles with it. This liquid fertilizer, know as leachate is gathered in the special collection tray of the Worm Factory and can easily be drained from the spigot. Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient rich compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system taking nutrient-rich particles with it. You can drain organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot. It's compact square design gives the Worm Factory the smallest footprint of all worm composters. The Worm Factory's tray stacking system allows it to hold the largest capacity of compost in the smallest amount of space, making it the perfect composter for anyone with space limitations. The Worm Factory is simple to operate. When full, each tray weighs only 12.5 pounds making lifting and arranging trays effortless. The included 16-page instruction manual makes setup fast and easy and gives tips on how to best manage your Worm Factory composter year-round.
