Product Description

At Greenco Gardening, we care about environment! All our products are made of environment friendly materials. Greenco Gardening Premium Compost Thermometer lets you know the temperature and health of your compost pile. Simply place the stem into the middle of your pile to get an accurate reading. We have chosen for you few tips that will help you to enhance your composting experience: Activate your compost: 'Activators' can be added to your compost to help kick-start the process and speed up composting. Common compost activator materials are: comfrey leaves, grass clippings, young weeds, well-rotted chicken manure. A moveable fresh ground: The soil beneath a compost bin becomes enriched as nutrients filter down with successive waterings. You can place your bin on a plot of earth which you plan to use for a future vegetable or flower bed, or fruit tree. Each year, you can move the bin to a different area; you'll get a double benefit - the compost from the bin, and a bed of nutrient-rich soil ready for new plantings. Minimize unpleasant odors from your compost pile: This can be a concern in urban and suburban areas with small lots and neighbors living close by. Odors can be reduced, or eliminated, by following two practices: first, remember to not put bones or meat scraps into the compost; second, cover new additions to the compost pile with dry grass clippings or similar mulch. Adding lime or calcium will also neutralize odors. If the compost smells like ammonia, add carbon-rich elements such as straw, peat moss or dried leaves. We wish you a happy composting and please let us know if you need something, we are here 24/7 to answer your questions.
