Here is an update on my beloved Green Johanna. I've done a bit of a test to see how it can perform and get hot composting , even when neglected and forgotten about. Spoiler alert, with a little bit of effort it gets steamy hot and performs really well!
It's getting hot!
About the Green Johanna:
The Green Johanna is a top-performing hot composter that turns food waste - including cooked food, meat, fish and dairy - and garden waste into quality compost within months.
There is plenty of capacity for ALL your food waste, as well as plenty of garden waste as this hot compost bin has 330 litre capacity.
Designed in Sweden and made in the UK from 100% recycled plastic, it has an expected lifespan of 10 years or more.
The Johanna’s patented airflow and ventilation systems create optimum conditions for a busy ecosystem of composting micro-organisms to digest waste, releasing energy as they do – hence the term hot composter.
One Johanna is designed to cope with the average food waste of a household of five and compostable waste from an average garden.
The robust modular screw-locked design significantly reduces threat of rodent ingress.
The Green Johanna comes with a handy compost aerator to stir compost every few weeks. This is really good to keep the contents aerated and to speed up the composting process.
