Compost Bin 'Identification'

victoriacadams · April 2021

We have recently moved house and garden and have inherited a compost bin. It is an unusual design, which must be functional. Is anybody else using an identical compost bin?
It must have a product design 'name'. Any help would be greatly received. thank you. Vicky.

Its a Green Cone digestor by the look of it

That's great, thank you! I have just Googled the name you have given and all the images match your name. Do you happen to know why it is called 'Cone'. Does the distinctive cone shape make a difference?

Appears to be a solar food waste digester so you can put meat/bones etc inside. Have you had a look in it?

I see it is not actually a composter but a digester so it seems it is more for getting rid of waste rather than providing compost for the garden.
Is that about right?

They were selling them off cheap outside our local SM years ago - you dig a hole for a basket, and the cone goes over the top. You can virtually put anything organic in it - and they provided a few packs of the bacterial digester powder that helped in the breakdown of the stuff. Presumably the 'goodness' leaches into the surrounding soil.
