The Green Cone Solar Digester is a completely natural system that reduces food waste to its natural components of water and CO2.

What makes the green cone different from normal garden composters is the ability for it to break down waste such as animal products, meats, and even pasta scraps. This means you can reduce the amount of waste you send to the landfill even more!


Type: Composters


More Product Information:

A simple and low maintenance way to dispose of your food waste in a way that’s great for the environment! The Green Cone uses solar thermal heat to assist microbes in breaking down food waste fast and safely in its self-contained digestion chamber. The double layered design allows the Green Cone to operate effectively in both warm and cold climates, meaning you don’t have to stop composting food waste because it’s wintertime. Green Cone accepts all cooked and uncooked food waste including vegetable scraps, meat, fish, bones, dairy products, and other organic material, even pet waste! Keep in mind, bulky yard waste is not recommended for Green Cone.

Please Note: As of January 2021, the green outer cone and lid will be a slightly darker shade of green.

How To Use Green Cone?

Simply bury the bottom basket section of the Green Cone in your yard and install the top inner and outer cones. Ensure that your Green Cone is installed in an area of your yard with good drainage, so nutrients can flow away from your Green Cone. Once it’s all set up, simply dispose of your food scraps in the Green Cone as needed!

The double walled design of the Green Cone will trap heat to assist with decomposition and the surrounding soil will ensure it will not smell. The moisture from the decomposing materials will filter down through the soil and the solid material will become food for nearby worms and other natural microorganisms. You will only need to clean the green cone every 2-3 years!

I Wish the Top Was Wider

I've been using the Green Cone for 3 years now. I really like that the lid has a secure closure. BUT, could you Please make one with a wider top? We keep our compost in the freezer and when you try and dump it into an 11 Inch entrance-GRR. So there are food scraps around the perimeter that I every once in a while try to move the dirt around to hide the corn, small pieces of food. Annoying. Wonder why the top has to be so small? In my next house Im looking for a larger entrance to the composter. I was hoping it was upgraded, but darn.

Hi Lucy,

We appreciate you taking the time to give your honest feedback here. This is something we will certainly pass long to the manufacturer and see if anything can be done.

Sincerely,

Really does resist pests!

I've had previous compost contraptions fall to the raccoons, groundhogs, and other local scavengers with nasty teeth and gnawing tendencies. Not a scratch on the green cone. I do have a pair of prominent muddy raccoon pawprints on the lid, which shows that they do know they're interested in it, but they can't get in. Very pleased with it.

Hi Evelyn,

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this nice review. The GreenCone is such a fun and unique product and we're glad to hear that it's working great for you.

Love it

My plants loves this addition in my garden. Not messy at all. Gives plants the extra nutrition for them to grow very large, and keeps my garbage can in the house not as smelly since I am not storing roten foods in it. All my food scraps go into the Green Solar Cone instead of the garbage can. This is my second one for my second new garden bed. Love it!

Hi K.,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this nice review. We're happy to hear how well the Green Cone is working for you. It's amazing how many scraps can be saved from garbage cans!

Sincerely,
