Autumn’s here, and boy does it want you to know about it! As well as dropping the temperature degree by degree, this season is infamous for making a mess of all that Spring cleaning and cluttering up your green grounds with leaf by leaf of garden gruesomes. But here at EcoSwitch, we have found the ideal solution to help you tackle that ever-growing garden filling up with foliage: the Composphere.
With an almost extra terrestrial look about it, the Composphere appears to be just like a Bio-Dome of some sort. A spherical garden composter that has taken an ingenious approach to the practicallity of composting.
Especially in the later months of the gardening year, maintaining your compost can be at least a bit tiring and in some cases almost back-breaking. Lifting and mixing your garden’s gifts is without a doubt rewarding but it is hard work at the best of times. The Composphere works in the same way a compost tumbler would work, but unlike the conventional tumbler, the Composphere is not restricted by a frame: you can easily mix the contents of your compost by rolling the sphere around your garden directly from its standing position.
The more you roll, the more the mix accelerates the composting process. It’s great! If you add an organic accelerator, you can prepare compost within a matter of weeks – just what your flowerbeds need towards the wicked winter months.
And because of its innovative design, you don’t have to lug the compost from one end of your garden to the other. Simply roll the entire lot like a gigantic ball right to where it’s needed. There is a flat-bed underside to the Composphere, so it will settle on standing once you’ve finished unloading your garden’s goodies.
Made from 100% recycled plastic, the Composhere has a total capacity of 315 litres and has an easy twist lid. The Composhere comes with a 5-year guarantee, and retails for around £98. We think its an ingenious innovation, and without a doubt, a great eco-alternative to more conventional composts.
But before you rush off to pick one of these great gizmos up for your garden, there’s more!
To help you gather all those laconic leaves from your lawn we’ve found a Leaf Sack made from a loose weave jute – which are 100% biodegradable too. Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em leaf sacks are a great addition to your gardening shed and a fantastic form for collecting the fallen leaves and shrubs for you to store and apply to your compost when you see fit. The Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em leaf sacks have a great hands-on, roll up your sleeves appeal to getting on with some Autumnal gardening. They retail from around £5.00, come in a variety of sizes, and are a must have for any keen gardener.
One thing you can be sure of this Autumn season is that, here at EcoSwitch, we wont let your green fingers go to waste, or your garden get the better of you! So keep up to date with the Green innovations, by logging on again soon.
