Regular mixing and aerating of your compost is an essential part of composting - and that's where this Compost Stirrer/Aerator proves invaluable. A real aid to the composter, the double handle helps plunge the prong into the heap and the hinged flaps open automatically to turn the compost and create new air passages as you pull.
• Robust steel construction
• Teethed prongs to maximise aeration
• Essential for effective composting
• 78cm long
• Handle is 39cm wide
• Each stirrer measures 13cm, both opening to 28cm
• Weighs in at a lightweight 960 grams
• Recently trialled by the Telegraph gardening writer and achieved a fantastic report...
"Home composting is one of the best ways of recycling organic material, but how many of us manage to get it just right?
Darlac's new Compost Aerator/Stirrer is described as the perfect tool for keeping air flowing through your heap. The lift and mix action speeds up the natural biological process while allowing you to check the progress of your free, quality compost without having to empty the bin.
All you have to do is push the aerator into the heart of the compost, twist and withdraw. As the tool is pulled from the heap, the hinged flaps open, stirring up the pile and letting the air in.
It has a T-shaped handle so it can be used with both hands and is made completely from steel."
