Green Johanna Hot Composter

Product Information

It is essential that the winter jacket is removable during the process otherwise the compost will burn, in which event the micro-organisms die and the process is halted. It was slightly tricky to put together just because some of the sections would pop out as you are putting the screws in. There is plenty of capacity for ALL your food waste, as well as plenty of garden waste as this hot compost bin has 330L capacity. The base has small holes in it, designed so that worms may enter directly from the ground to feed and accelerate the composting process, but of a size small enough to exclude rodents.

The combination of a Green Johanna and a Winter Jacket helps to maintain the composting process in low temperatures. She has shown incredible resilience and courage over the past three years , and she illustrates the positive difference your support can make to the lives of children who are battling immense challenges. The compost can be dug in, but if the mulch is not ready, the decomposition process will continue and steal the oxygen from the plants. It is to your own advantage to make your own from hedge clippings, trimmings from bushes and trees and other garden waste, this can be done by hand or simply by using a garden shredder.Featuring a construction of 100% recycled plastic, patented vented base with lid aeration system and a robust modular screw-locked design to prevent rodents and pests gaining access. The innovative hot composting system will transform your households food waste into crumbly, organic compost that’s ideal for using as a mulch around the garden.

When my mum was having a seizure, I didn’t know what to do which was really frightening ”, explains E mily . However, it does fit snuggly together once you check and realign the section after each screw before continuing. Assembling it is not too hard, however, you might need a sharp Stanley knive to cut off some little plastic 'noses' from production, which make the fitting together sometimes hard.

No soil is as nutritious and of such high quality as that which comes from a hot compost and which contains both garden and household waste. Recently , my mum’s benefits payment was delayed , which meant she couldn’t afford for me to go on a day trip during the school holidays. BUT hubby and I have had several arguments heated debates about when is the best time to fire this baby up. and the spurned bits of my delightfully cooked, nutritious meals, can now have a second life and be put to good use making lovely compost! When young carers like E mily are referred to Barnardo’s , they ’re often at the point whe re they are really struggling to care for their loved ones and need immediate practical help and knowledge , as well as emotional support.

li>Its clever design means that micro organisms, bugs and worms together with oxygen work together to create temperatures of 65°C (150°F). It’s even better if you have two or more Johannas, as you’ll be able to let the compost in one mature fully while you continue adding to the other. The Same Natural Cycle Occurs Every Year Leaves, Twigs And Trees Fall To The Ground, Decompose And Become Food For New Plants. The key point for me, and the main advantage of this compost bin, is that it is genuinely vermin free.

The assembly instructions are just adequate if you read them carefully, but the issue I found was that a couple of the sections were warped due to poor manufacture or QC, and so didn’t fit without a good deal of careful work to press and manipulate the pieces to force them together. With a generous 330 litre capacity, the Green Johanna Composter boasts a patented vented base and lid aeration that speeds up the composting process to just a few months. To ensure food waste recycling all year round, you may wish to dress your Green Johanna in her winter jacket (purchased separately) if the average outdoor temperature drops below 5°C for several days at a time.

For those of you who don’t know, the Green Johanna is a “unique closed, home composting container” but it can also take food waste including cooked food. Try to organise your composting process, so that you have humus ready in time for spring, when you need the nutrients for your plants. You’ll notice the difference in everything you grow: vegetables will taste better and flowers will grow and flourish!
