Earthmaker™ Composter
Triple-Chambered Earthmaker™ Composter Makes Composting Easy
It took some ingenious gardeners in New Zealand to devise the Earthmaker™ Composter, an efficient, gravity-fed
composting system. Kitchen scraps and garden waste start in the top chamber of this compost system, where beneficial fungi
and bacteria handle the initial stages of decomposition. After 3 to 5 weeks, slide out the panel and let the contents move down
into the cooler, second chamber. After another 3 to 5 weeks, guide the finished compost into the lower chamber where it matures and can be easily removed for use in your garden. Make finished, nutrient-rich compost in as little as 10 weeks
Designed to handle all compostable yard, garden and kitchen waste
Three-chamber process cooks compost faster
Large, 16-1/2 cubic feet capacity
Generously sized lid on top swings open for easy filling
This oversize item has a $15 additional shipping charge

Comments about Earthmaker™ Composter:
i use this over and over.
i have a pail inside, and add all fruit rides, and coffee grounds, veggies, leaves in fall , and the dirt it produces is wonderful...rich and black.
i was having problems at first, but added coir bricks that you sell, and then added the bricks, that you add water to, and decomposes to rich earth / which has nitrogen.it's just great and easy to use.

Comments about Earthmaker™ Composter:
I had to fabricate a bottom, so that liquid draining from the composter did not stain my patio. I could not keep it in the location of the previous composter, as the plastic loses inetgrity if it is in direct sunlight for too many hours.
It is easy to open and close and it does have a large capacity.
