About this deal
Regular aeration of the compost heap by turning will speed up the process and improve the quality of the compost. By comparison, the slower cold composting methods will NOT kill disease pathogens or weed seeds and roots, so if this compost is put into the garden it may spread weeds and plant diseases, hence the common advice not to (cold) compost diseased plants.
Compost Activator, made of natural and organic materials, improves the quality and readiness of your home compost. This is because the bacteria responsible for the composting process require these two elements in those proportions to use as nutrients to construct their bodies as they grow, reproduce and multiply.
Elaine Ingham, Oregon State University, for this paraphrased description of what goes wrong when compost piles go anaerobic. Instead, you can turn your waste into nutrient-rich dirt that you can use to feed your lawn, garden, or houseplants. This can happen occasionally in a static compost pile, but it will happen in a hot compost pile, if you don’t turn it when the temperature exceeds 155° (68° C).
They’re a big investment for backyard organic gardeners, one I’ve never been able to justify with my small garden. For your convenience, the front slats of this composter are individually removable, providing easy access to nutrient-rich compost at the base of your pile. Both adding and emptying waste is straightforward, as the hatch is large and opens and locks smoothly with a chunky knob.What to do with accumulating garden waste – you have to make a decision to stop adding fresh garden waste to the heap so you give it a chance to rot down.
