CONVENTIONAL COMPOSTING METHODS!

 

 COMPOSTING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES

When it comes to composting there's usually an answer to every scenario. 
Check out the products below and see if one isn't perfect for your situation.

GARDENER'S
 SUPPLY COMPANY

 







This 100% organic activator will "rev up" your compost pile with a high-energy blend of nitrogen and hungry micro-organisms. It's a powerful two-part system of energizer (including peanut meal) and activator (micro-organisms, alfalfa, cocoa meal, and other ingredients). Super Hot is guaranteed to give you finished compost in record time. Revs up your compost pile! Easy to use. Blend into pile, add water, aerate twice a week.


 

 

 


Our all-natural accelerator not only speeds up decomposition to give you finished compost faster, it also increases mineral content and neutralizes odors. It contains 7 kinds of beneficial bacteria that devour organic matter, plus ocean kelp, fish meal and alfalfa meal. Jump-starts your compost! Economical -- 1 lb activates 10-20 cubic ft. Easy to use -- comes in handy shaker bottle. 100% natural ingredients. Neutralizes odors. Also great for deodorizing the cat's litter box.

 

You won't find a better-designed compost aerator anywhere. It has not one, but two sets of "wings" that fold back to plunge deep into the pile, then open to create new air passages. A must-have accessory for any composter! Padded handles provide comfort and leverage. Auxiliary handle needs to be attached. Allen wrench included.

 

 

 






You may need only one composter most of the year, but where can you put that mountain of leaves every fall? This wire bin holds 150 dry gallons (20 cubic feet) of leaves and garden scraps, without the investment of an enclosed composter. In fact, it's so inexpensive that many gardeners connect two or three together, one to collect waste, one for cooking compost, and one for finished compost. Each bin holds 150 dry gallons! It's easy to connect 2 or 3 together. Save over 13% when you buy 2 or more.

 





Think you don't have time to make your own compost? The Pyramid Composter will change your mind. This exclusive continuous composter designed by the composting experts at Gardener's Supply makes big batches of dark, nutrient-rich compost. The exclusive peaked lid lets in just enough rain water to keep the compost moist, side vents ensure good air circulation, and a large front door gives easy access for removing finished compost. Whooping 12 cubic foot cap...


                                            





It's no bother composting kitchen scraps when you have this convenient tumbler near the back door. Our compact composter is sized just right to handle food scraps, and with a few quick spins, turn them into rich garden gold. When your compost is ready, just wheel it out to the garden. The big hinged door makes access easy. The easiest way ever to turn kitchen waste into rich compost! Compact tumbler takes up little space. Tubular steel frame has rust-resistant powder coating. Wheels right out to.

 





This composter is such an attractive landscape accent that your neighbors will never guess what it's for. We adapted the design of an antique English "dolly" (washtub) to create a decorative composter for smaller gardens. It's made of rugged 100% recycled polyethylene so it will never rust or dent, it holds over 37 gallons (5 cubic feet) of yard debris and kitchen scraps, and it has a snap-lock lid vented to let in rainwater. Looks like an antique metal washtub, but it's 100% recycled plastic.







This large-capacity composter is a favorite for yard cleanup because you just roll it to where the leaves are, load it up, and roll it away. The octagonal barrel is easy to roll but won't roll away from you. We've even stamped the days of the week on it to remind you when you last turned it. Please note: This item cannot be shipped outside the continental U.S. For other shipping options, please call 1-888-833-1412. Turns leaves and yard waste into garden gold! Molded ridges inside barrel break up...







You'll love this new composting system because it digests meat, diary and other scraps not recommended for regular composters, and it saves you from trudging out to the compost pile, especially in winter. Uses fermentation (similar to winemaking) to reduce food scraps into a nutrient-rich soil conditioner. Drain off accumulated liquid -- it's a potent, free, plant food. Tight-fitting lid speeds up the process, seals in odors. Easy to use -- toss scraps into the 5-gallon pail, add the activator

Most gardeners and landscapers will agree almost unanimously that the single best thing you can do for your lawn is to add compost. Good, organic compost can remedy almost any problem you have with your soil. If you soil is too acidic, adding compost will help neutralize it and bring it back to a proper pH level. If your soil is too alkaline, ditto! Adding compost will help balance the alkalinity in the soil. If you live in an area with a lot of heavy clay, adding compost will help loosen and aerate the soil. If you live in a coastal or southern area with a lot of sand, adding compost will help bind it together. Soil lacking nutrients? Add compost to add new life to overworked soil.  Read More...
