Composting and recycling accessories

It is important to add accelerator powder regularly to the Green Cone to ensure that a healthy, active bacterial population is maintained at all times. We recommend a couple of shakes into your kitchen caddy every time it is emptied into your Green Cone.

The bacteria accelerate the speed at which the waste material is disposed of. They do this by producing enzymes, which breakdown the different components of the waste allowing the bacteria to absorb the waste as food and eventually convert it into CO2 and water. They ensure the degradation process is working. 60 gms sachet.

The common-sense solution for disposal of household food waste. The Green Cone System deals with household kitchen waste within the confines of a garden or yard. Tried and tested for 15 years, the Green Cone food waste digesters accept all types of food including raw and cooked meat or fish and bones.

Using a Food Waste Digester immediately reduces the amount of waste collected from your home by up to 30%. It is affordable and makes complete economic and environmental sense.

A garden or yard with a food waste digester is part of an environmentally conscious home. A home with a lower carbon footprint. A home keen to reduce lorries and pollution. A home looking to help prevent poisonous greenhouses gasses emitted by landfill sites. It takes up very little space and requires a sunny spot in the garden (The Green Johanna, below, performs a similar role but functions equally well in the shade). For more information on Green Cones, please visit the manufacturer's website...

Each cone comes with detailed instructions and all necessary accessories, including a counter-top 'caddy' for collecting your waste and a sachet of accelerator powder. Standard delivery terms (€7.50 for Dublin and Wicklow area; €15.00 for rest of Ireland, including Northern Ireland).

"Get a Green Cone. Partially buried in your garden, the solar heated unit takes all cooked and uncooked food waste and breaks it down into its natural components. It can reduce household waste by about 25%." The Irish Times, October 2005.

An easy to use compost system to safely compost all degradable kitchen waste all year round! The patented design of the Green Johanna means you do not have to know much about composting - with Green Johanna everyone can compost! It differs from the Green Cone in that it functions in the shade, whereas the Green cone should be placed in a sunny area. Naturally occurring micro-organisms, bugs and worms, together with oxygen and moisture do all the work. In the process heat is produced.

Green Johanna can compost two parts food waste to one part garden waste. All food waste including meat, fish and bones can be put in your Green Johanna. It should be installed in a shady part of the garden - in contrast to the Green Cone, which should be in a sunny area.

Some very valuable micro-organisms work at temperatures as high as 65°C (150°F)! This is ”hot” composting - oxygen in the air is critical to the process. We deliver the Green Johanna throughout Ireland, complete with the following items:

1 x Mixing Stick - 4 x Outer Rings - 1 x Lid - 1 x Base - 2 x Doors - 1 x Bag of Fixing Screws - 1 X Instruction Manual

Standard delivery terms (€7.50 in the Dublin and Wicklow area; €15.00 rest of Ireland)
