A Green Cone is a specific type of food waste digester. Unlike a compost bin, it is designed to break down almost all food waste, including meat, dairy, and cooked food, rather than to produce harvestable compost.
How it works
The cone sits above a buried basket. Food waste is added at the top, and a combination of sunlight, air, and soil organisms in the surrounding ground digests most of it, leaving only a small residue over time.
Pros and cons
It is a low-effort way to dispose of a wide range of food waste at home, but it does not produce compost you can spread on a garden. Think of it as an at-home food waste digester rather than a composting bin.
