Envirocycle's The Most Beautiful Composter in the World
The Envirocycle's Most Beautiful Composter in the World can produce both solid and liquid compost. In order to do this, the unit combines a compost tumbler drum with a compost tea maker base, all made in the USA of high quality, food safe, BPA free, UV and antioxidant protected materials with superior craftsmanship and quality, backed by a 5-year limited warranty. The drum rotates on top of the base to generate solid compost, and if desired, the base can be used to collect the excess liquid from the drum as compost tea, a precious liquid fertilizer.
The unit measures (25.4″ W x 21.5″ D x 27.7″ H) and weighs 24.6 pounds.
The drum and base capacities are respectively 35 and 2.5 gallons.
It is offered both in black or in pink. No assembly is required.
You can easily open the snap-latch and door to dump in a variety of compostable material. To generate mature compost, you simply need to grab onto the drum’s deep grooves and turn the composter 3 full revolutions every 3 days. It will take about 4 to 8 weeks to obtain fresh, earthy smelling, mature compost. Worms can also be used to accelerate the composting process and generate rich vermicomposting.
The unit has 8 innovative easy-to-use drain plugs that are used to collect the liquid fertilizer compost tea in the base, drain compost tea into the soil, or boost the humidity in the pile. It is also equipped with vents that increase airflow into the drum to aerate, oxygenate and create optimal aerobic composting conditions.
Because of its compact space requirements, the eco-friendly Envirocycle composter can be placed anywhere in your garden or close to your home. But the innovative design of the compost tea collecting base, makes also composting on your balcony, deck, patio or porch a pleasant and clean experience. Additionally, because of its elegant design, the composter brings beauty to wherever you may choose to place it.
