Place the Cone in a hole in well-draining soil in a sunny position. The Cone harnesses the energy of the sun to speed up the breakdown of food waste in its underground basket. More than 90% of the contents are reduced to nutrient-rich water, which drains out of the underground basket and feeds surrounding soil. Embedding the Cone in soil means that decomposition occurs below ground level so any odours are absorbed by the soil. The underground basket needs to be placed in a hole about 70cm wide/54cm deep in well-draining soil (not clay or chalk). Food waste (no garden waste) should be dropped into the Cone directly, not in bags. Waste lands in the underground basket, where micro-organisms and worms enter and begin to break it down. Regular additions of accelerator powder (a mixture of natural bacteria on a cereal base), especially in winter, add beneficial micro-organisms to boost the breakdown process. Made in the UK from 100% recycled plastic, the Green Cone is fully guaranteed for five years and has an expected lifespan of 10 years or more. The Cone comes with a free kitchen caddy and a starter pack of accelerator powder. Designed in Canada to solve the problem of bears knocking bins over in search of food, the Green Cone is a best-seller in Canada, the US and Australia. NOTE: The Green Cone does not produce compost.
