Green Johanna Hot Composter

Product Information

In cold weather the outside temperature falls lower than 5 degrees Celsius (which could lead to the composting process stalling). One of its best features is that when the compost is ready, you simply roll the drum off the base to a convenient emptying place in the garden. The nutrient-rich liquid that drains during the composting process is also collected in a tank which clips onto a garden hose, allowing this useful plant tonic to be easily dispensed when watering. BUT hubby and I have had several arguments heated debates about when is the best time to fire this baby up. The basket should be placed in a hole about 70cm wide/54cm deep in free-draining soil (not clay or chalk) in a sunny spot in the garden.

Dug into a hole in well-draining soil in a sunny position, the Cone reduces more than 90% of its contents to nutrient-rich water, which drains out of its underground basket and feeds surrounding soil.Hubby has pointed out that it is a hot composter, and will inevitably work better in warmer weather, and thinks that starting it now in mid February is a bit rash.
