Enclosed unit with integrated base plate allows easy access to worms and micro-organisms while deterring rodents. There are times when our kitchen cupboards are bare, and my mum has to ask my older sister for food. No soil is as nutritious and of such high quality as that which comes from a hot compost and which contains both garden and household waste.

Don’t forget to scatter and mix the material as finely as possible, as this helps to speed up the process. The only drawback is that compost can’t be harvested when the winter jacket is on, though it only takes a short time to remove and replace. This ensures that the micro-organisms, which live and work in the compost, are able to do their job successfully. Pull the jacket sections down so they overlap the section below by about 5cms, ensuring that the ventilation holes at the top and bottom of the composter remain uncovered.The Green Johanna is designed to take 1/3 garden waste to 2/3 food waste, and works best in a shady spot. Made from 100 per cent-recycled plastic, the bin is well designed and has 300L capacity to take a good deal of waste.
