Introducing the Green Cone...

Green cone food digester

The business end of a Green Cone food waste digester sits under the ground. Heat is drawn down into this digestion chamber from the double wall of the cone above and helps the contents heat up and rot away quickly into the surrounding soil. A great easy way of disposing of any cooked food waste you may have - also makes the surrounding soil lovely and rich for any hungry plants. At £15 for Allerdale residents (including delivery), it's an absolute bargain too! (Full price is normally £119.99). Order one today.

...and the Green Jonanna

Green johanna food digester

A Green Johanna will take everything a normal compost bin does plus ALL cooked food waste including meat and bones. The design creates a good airflow allowing it to get hotter than a normal compost bin - it also comes with a base plate to discourage vermin whilst letting worms and other compost creatures through. At only £20 including delivery it's a real bargain (full price £119.99). Order one today.
