Green Cone food waste digester

What is a green cone?

A completely natural system that helps to reduce food waste, that cannot be composted, to its natural component of water, carbon dioxide and, depending on conditions, a very small residue. It takes all cooked and uncooked food waste including meat, fish, bones, dairy products, vegetables and fruit. It requires a sunny position and is installed by digging a hole 42 cm deep, in well drained soil, to bury the basket.

What are the benefits of using a green cone?

Waste food can be disposed of easily and quickly.
Virtually maintenance free.
The design ensures no vermin are attracted, when installed correctly.
It is easy to set up and maintain 365 days a year.
