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

that goes out to the compost pile, then rinses clean. The smooth,
hands-free mechanism raises the lid and closes it tight to lock odors
inside. Our largest-capacity compost pail! 3-gallon inner pail lifts out
for carrying scraps to the compost pile. Step can works with foot pedal,
leaves hands free. Tight lid locks odors inside.

Composting the Easy Way
Michael J. McGroarty
Having an ample supply of good rich compost is the gardeners dream. It
has many uses, and all of those uses will result in nicer plants.
However, composting can be time consuming and hard work. I place a
reasonable value on my time, so spending hours and hours turning compost
piles doesn't qualify as a worthwhile exercise, at least in my book.
Nonetheless, I do compost, but I do so on my terms.

A Compost Primer
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.
