Green Johanna Hot Composter

Product Information

The Green Johanna is a top-performing hot bin composter that turns food waste - including cooked food, meat, fish and dairy - and garden waste into quality compost within months.

The Johanna is made up of easily-assembled sections that form an enclosed unit with an integrated base plate that allows easy access to composting micro-organisms while deterring rodents. It should be placed in a shady area on soil, grass or gravel. Tributes have been pouring in from colleagues, friends and students who described her as a “bright, rising star” who was “wonderful and warm” and “amazing friend and colleague”.Also Recommended: our bundle with a 12.5kg bag of Complete Rot for Grass - a composting solution designed to facilitate the easy decomposition of grass clippings. Crafted from restructured organic waste material, this product harnesses the power of natural enzymes and abundant free carbon. Its purpose is to counterbalance the excessive nitrogen levels that typically hinder the composting process of grass clippings. The Green Johanna is the garden compost bin with a difference. This hot composter recycles all kinds of waste food - even cooked food, meat (except bones) and fish - into natural organic compost. If you love recycling and would like a greener garden, the Green Johanna is for you. Simply install in a shady, sheltered spot and fuel with a few centimetres of garden waste. Then add two layers of food waste for every layer of garden waste. 80 x 26.5 x 80cm. 330 litres. Then, we needed a layer of soil/mature compost, so we raided the various empty pots scattered around the garden. The basket should be placed in a hole about 70cm wide/54cm deep in free-draining soil (not clay or chalk) in a sunny spot in the garden. Johanna died on Thursday 20 July 2023 in The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice, Bellahouston Park, Glasgow with her parents, Wynn and Dave by her side. Johanna would have celebrated her 40 th birthday on 21July 2023.

The regular addition of a little accelerator powder (a mixture of natural bacteria on a cereal base) is necessary to boost the digestion process. Made in the UK from 100% recycled plastic, the Green Cone has an expected lifespan of 10 years or more. 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.

Modular sections mean that it’s possible to remove more compost by unscrewing sections if you wish. Also, if one section becomes damaged that section can simply be replaced. In 2018, Johanna was diagnosed and treated for stage four bowel cancer but continued to balance palliative treatment with her academic work. In 2020, she returned to teaching after surgery and extensive chemotherapy which colleagues said was “a testament to her unwavering passion for her students and her field of expertise”. Born in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear on 21 July 1983, Johanna is survived by her parents, Wynn and Dave, her much loved cat Cora, and a wide circle of friends. Funeral details will be released at a later date. Johanna was a student at the University of Glasgow, then worked in various jobs in both the University's College of Arts and the then School of Psychology. In 2016, she was appointed as a lecturer in Information Studies working closely with colleagues in the University Library’s Archives and Special Collections.
