Have
compost ready
whenever you need
it with the revolutionary Earthmaker triple-chamber
composter. The Earthmaker is faster, cleaner, and more
environmentally friendly than traditional compost bins, making it good
for your garden, good for the planet, and saving you time. The
Earthmaker can provide you with a continuous source of fresh, high
quality compost without the need for digging, turning, or transferring
materials.
The Three Stages of Compost Production
All compost is produced in three stages: mixing waste materials,
digesting waste into compost, and allowing the compost to
mature. To produce fully mature compost with traditional compost bins
the
materials should be transferred between three bins as they progress
through the three stages.
The Earthmaker is designed to make the traditional three-stage
composting process as simple and easy as possible. It uses a
unique triple chamber system to produce
high quality compost
without the
need for three separate bins. With separate chambers for the
mixing, digesting, and maturing processes, the Earthmaker is a truly
all-in-one compost bin.
Top Quality Compost with Minimal Effort
Compost doesn't have to
be dirty. The Earthmaker compost bin is quick and simple
to set up, and requires
just a few minutes of attention every three to six weeks. Put
your daily kitchen scraps and garden waste into the top chamber of the
Earthmaker, and within twelve to fifteen weeks you'll have a
constant supply of fresh compost,
ready for your garden.
Unlike traditional composters that require the effort of regularly
lifting and turning the compost by hand to produce a quality end
result, the Earthmaker lets gravity do all the hard work for
you. Its triple chamber design means that it automatically aerates the
compost, ensuring that with minimal effort you will end up with compost
of the highest quality rather than a stinking, anaerobic mess.
Because the Earthmaker's triple chamber system lets gravity do the hard
work of composting, it can be used by anyone, whatever their age or
ability.
Extra-Environmentally Friendly
Traditionally produced compost needs to be mixed regularly to aerate it
with oxygen. Many households don't bother with this, because
it
takes time and effort, and can cause the mixing of fresh
kitchen waste with compost that's ready to use.
Fail to mix compost, and it will rot and turn smelly. The
smell
means its decomposing anaerobically and producing methane, a greenhouse
gas twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide.
The Earthmaker's triple chamber system ensures that fresh waste is
always kept separate from compost that's ready to
use. The
separate chambers
automatically
aerate your compost, bathing the compost materials in
oxygen as
they move from shelf to shelf.
As with all composters, using the Earthmaker is a wonderful educational
tool for teaching children about the cycle of life and caring for the
environment. Worms love the Earthmaker too – it's a natural
worm
farm.
Twice as Productive as Traditional Composters
The Earthmaker provides
constant
fresh compost, so you'll always have
compost when you need it.
From
the day you start using your composter, you'll have
quality compost
within 12-15
weeks. Once the Earthmaker starts producing compost, it will
provide you with 20-30 litres of excellent compost every month.
In a full year, the Earthmaker will digest 1,000-1,500kg of kitchen and
garden waste, producing 200-300 litres of compost.
In a 2006 trial lasting 26 weeks, the Sustainable Waste Management Team
at Garden Organic found that the Earthmaker produces up to twice as
much ready-to-use compost compared to traditional single chamber
compost bins. The researchers commented that the Earthmaker
is
easy to assemble, use, and empty.
