There was a time when composting was only for farmers and serious gardeners. Today, it became a waste management activity but a cumbersome chore for the environment conscious home owner. The arrival of the CompoSphere can make recycling of organic wastes much easier to do and with better results.
Part of the going green movement is to grow our own vegetables, especially organic and pesticide free vegetables. This made composting a part of home gardening methods as a method of recycling, reusing and growing healthy plants. The recycling of organic waste makes backyard soil ideal for the home garden, hence, almost anybody who is into gardening is also into composting. It also contributed largely in the nation’s waste management efforts.
Since composting has to deal with recycling garbage that is decaying and rotting, it is very important to have a suitable location and container. The further away it is from the house, the better; because you have to deal with the terrible smell and the flies.
Composting to be effective involved the process of aerating it, which means it had to be mixed, tumbled and turned to introduce air/oxygen. Otherwise, the gardener is into “cold” or passive composting, which took months before the compost became usable. You could probably imagine the resolve it took, to toss and turn the compost pile with a shovel and a pitchfork just to achieve the proper blend of yard and kitchen wastes. A good compost pile must not have one kind of waste more than the other; it would also mean improper balance in its carbon and nitrogen content.
People may be going back to basics but it doesn’t mean they have to stick to crude methods. So somebody came up with the compost tumbler. It was a take-off from the modernized compost bin. The tumbler is attached to a frame that allows you to easily turn the bin upside down repeatedly. This of course took care of the aerating procedure required in order to introduce oxygen.
The compost tumbler was a fine improvement from the crude methods of composting. Still, the steps involved could stand some more improvements, hence, the arrival of the Composphere.
