  • 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.
