Composting is an easy
way to return organic
matter to the soil.
The private household can
really contribute to creating
a better solution to the
current problem of waste
disposal by composting with
the GrowGreen Products
"Big Pig" organic waste
composter. By composting,
you will help to reduce
the amount of household
waste going to landfill
sites and also reduce your
own waste disposal costs.

How it operates:
The Big Pig digester is based on a rotating system. Rotating the unit draws air in through the air vents, and also mixes wet and dry matter. One turn of the unit with each new quantity of waste added is sufficient to aerate the contents. Keeping the contents aerated prevents them from smelling. So, when you open the unit you will get the smell of natural composting (similar to the smell of a forest floor) and NOT a nasty smell…... Dry matter is also added in the form of sawdust or wood pellets, adding an important carbon content.

 

 

 

The "Big Pig"

Probably The Best Composter in the World!

This unique digester is a home composting system that will recycle household food waste and garden waste of up to 2.5kgs daily (5.5 lbs).

The "Big Pig" digester is like a large
mechanical stomach that literally
digests the organic matter you feed it.
A fully insulated, 3ft x 2ft bin that bolts
on to the side of your house, it’s clean,
self-contained, and it turns food waste
into rich compost faster than the average
household can fill it

The Big Pig is so well insulated that the internal temperature reaches around 75 degrees centigrade. At that kind of
temperature the micro-organisms work so
fast that you can almost see the food breaking down before your eyes

 

Composting occurs at temperature intervals of+2 to +780C. Different micro-organisms work at different temperature intervals. Higher
temperatures give a higher degree of hygienic composting, and are, therefore, more favourable.With equal moisture distribution and oxygen configuration in the Big Pig
unit, plus with continued addition of waste, the temperature will rise to
65-750C. You don't have to buy a thermometer, as you will see the steam
rising from the contents. In fact, it can get too hot to bury your hand in it
- should you wish to do so!

Two Compartments for Maximum Results
The digester is divided into two compartments. When the first compartment is full (approx. 6 weeks) it is covered with a metal plate (provided). When the second compartment is full the first can be emptied of its’ finished compost.
