Product Information:
Originally developed in the UK for breaking down and composting food waste, this in-ground, solar digester uses heat from the sun to generate high internal temperatures for faster microbial activity. In addition to providing insulation, the air chamber created by the dual cones allows for passive convection currents to continually move fresh air through the system, providing the necessary oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions, which helps to mitigate foul odors. Depending on the year of production, these have been fabricated in Canada (Ontario), the US (New Jersey) and currently in the UK (Leeds). Designed to operate effectively in both warm and cold climates.
Protected, underground basket is difficult for hungry critters or curious pets to access - but easy to empty when filled with finished compost. The system provides sufficient capacity to digest 1.5-2 lbs of food waste per day (scraps from 3-5 adults). The Green Cone may also be used to effectively break down solid pet poop and during emergency situations, human solid waste. PLEASE NOTE: The top bar on the outer green cone piece is for stability during the manufacturing process. Some have been pre-removed at the factory, while others still have them attached. If yours comes with one, you may remove it or keep it attached - it does not affect the performance either way. 
User's Guide / Manual
DIGESTER ENZYME POWDER (US Only)The enzymatic digester / beneficial microbe mix will assist with breaking down food waste in your Green Cone. It is optional and absolutely not required, but it will definitely assist with the decomposition process, especially in colder climates, winter months, and soils with low microbial activity. Specifically, the powder includes 4 principal enzyme types (lipases, anylases, proteases and cellulases) and both mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria on a cereal base.
Due to the volume of requests, we now have an ecologically safe Pet Waste Digester Powder that was developed specifically for solid pet waste. We now ship these in 1 lb (16 oz) bags. Approx. 3.5 oz fills the jar. Store the remaining packets somewhere cool, dark and dry (pantry is fine).
REPLACEMENT PARTS: Green Cone (US Only)REGARDING 'DISPLAY' LIDS BELOW: these are replacement lids that have small imperfections, small cracks, cuts, dirt, blemishes, warps, scratches, etc - but should function adequately as a new part.
