The easier way to compost for under £100
Solve the age-old problem of aching limbs, back and joints when you turn compost with the Garden Grow Rotating Composter from Waltons.
The composter has made creating your own organic fertiliser in weeks really easier. At under £100, it has an impressive 160L capacity. It’s sturdy and discreet, constructed with two interior compartments, making it perfect for batch composting. Add raw materials to one compartment until it’s full, then continue onto the second chamber.
Simply add your composting materials, and spin the drum every few days to keep the composting process active. The composter is also built with an enclosed system for keeping pests out.
Garden Grow Rotating Composter – green and brown materials
The composting process works best by mixing moist greens with dry browns. Greens include kitchen scraps, grass clippings and plants, while browns include leaves, hay, sawdust, twigs and cardboard.
Thanks to the rotating capability, this composter will mix the materials and keep the composting process active. For best results, rotate the composter five-10 times every two or three days.
Composting is a great way to save money and reduce your household and garden waste. In the right conditions, with enough sunlight and warmth, the composting process will take approximately 2-8 weeks.
By developing a good routine of chipping up your brown and green garden waste, you’ll create organic-rich compost. This will save you a great deal of money if you’re used to buying it in bags from the garden centre. When fully rotted down, use it as a mulch to boost the soil health in your borders.
