Compact Composting
I have a small yard and no space that would work well for a composting bed, but I can certainly find room for the Green Cone. It is a covered system with a basket sunk into the ground to release the broken down food waste directly into your soil, the cone on top catches sunlight creating a nice warm environment for the bacteria to do it’s work. The cover also keeps in odors.
From the site: “The Green Cone reduces food waste to its natural components of water, carbon dioxide and a small residue. The solar-heated garden unit safely eliminates all cooked and uncooked food waste, including meat, fish, bones, dairy products, vegetables and fruit.
The Green Cone System allows you to:
* Reduce your household waste by 20% or more.
* Dispose of food waste immediately.
* Keep your garbage cans clean and odor-free.
* Keep remaining household waste clean and ready for recycling.
But most of all, the Green Cone system is beneficial to the environment. By using it, you can help conserve our precious landfill space and reduce the use of garbage truck fuel. Most importantly, you’ll conserve our earth’s precious natural resources, by decreasing the workload of large-scale treatment plants. ” Via Cool Tools.
