Composting Equipment
Compost Bins
Composting was just something that happened - long, long before this planet was inhabited by people. In every location vegetation was growing, natural composting was taking place and as the old plant material decomposed, it made the soil more fertile for new to grow - a real miracle of nature. When we eventually arrived on earth one of our ancestors, a pioneer of horticulture, then realised that crops grew better near or next to piles of rotting vegetation; recycling, and controlled composting, began.

Recycling is now a major issue in this century and the art of producing compost for our own gardens is commonplace, but the theory remains the same – bacteria and fungi and other creatures will decompose any natural product which once lived to create a nutrient rich material to enhance the soil. We've put our extensive composting knowledge to good use and brought together a range of products which will all produce excellent garden compost, and by encouraging recycling, will also benefit our precious environment at the same time. And with a charge for the collection of compostable material possibly being levied on householders, there is no better time to follow Mother Nature's example...

But don't just take our word for it - there's plenty of gardeners out there who know just what a valuable commodity home-made compost is, and why not read Kim Wilde's Expert Advice on the subject?
Compost Tumblers
Compost Tumblers

Compost Tumblers - compost tumblers can help turn what is traditionally a ten-plus month practice into a 14 day fast-track composting process! Fill with your organic waste from the garden and kitchen and give the drum a couple of spins once a day. The efficient mixing allows the bacteria to work fast and generates high core temperatures, resulting in usuable compost in just two weeks - given the correct mix of material and weather conditions. Any liquid produced by the composting process - which traditionally leaches into the soil and is wasted - can be collected used as a high potash feed. We've been busy testing the various compost tumblers in our range and they've helped to produce some fantastic compost for our Kitchen Garden with the minimum of effort!

Wooden Compost Bins - the wooden compost bin is the traditional way to make garden compost, and has been used in various guises by generations of gardeners. Often tucked away in a secluded corner of the garden, these bins have never been the most attractive addition to the garden - until now that is, as we've manage to combine performance with looks and produce a range of wooden compost bins (some designed and manufactured here in our factory) which you'll be proud to display. With composters capable of holding 400+ litres of material, and featuring stylish beehive models, we're sure our range will meet with your approval - and to satisfy a really hungry garden, you can 'go large' with a 1000 litre version!
Wormeries

Wormeries - wormeries are a great method making garden compost to supplement the larger scale compost bins and tumblers often used in the garden - and there's no need to be squeamish as worm composting is relatively clean and maintenance free. Worms will greedily munch through kitchen waste which is unsuitable for the compost bin; keeping a wormery is fun and educational and you won't have to feed them every day (going on holiday for a fortnight is no problem) - it makes sense to have one! And that's without mentioning the sheer quality of the wormcast ultimately produced; justifiably tagged the best natural fertiliser known to man. We've designed and manufactured our own wormeries along with sourcing the best currently on the market and you'll also find various packages of live worms to top up your existing wormery, or perhaps set-up a brand new venture. Either way, you'll end up with worm cast absolutely erupting with nutrients, a great looking garden and hundreds of little composting experts to help!
