The unique Composphere lets you easily make compost for your garden
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to be greener in the garden, the Composphere is the perfect way to do this. With a generous 351 litre capacity, this unique garden composter is designed to make it easy and quick for you to have great compost for your garden. The Composphere is made from 100% recycled plastic, so is environmentally friendly, and is designed to be super easy to use. It is similar to a traditional compost tumbler but isn’t limited to a frame, instead you can roll it around the garden, tumbling your contents together. If you also use an accelerant – organic, of course – you could have some great compost in weeks, so in plenty of time for your spring gardening. If you need to store the Composphere, you simply unscrew it and the two hemispheres rest inside one another. The Composphere also allows you to move it around the garden easily so you can spread your compost without any hassle – perfect especially for those with larger gardens. The Composphere design has already proved popular and has been featured on the BBC and in Garden News. As we throw away a huge amount of organic waste every year – much of it going to rot in landfill where it generates harmful gasses – using your food waste to make compost in a Composphere makes sense for the planet, and for your garden.
Music with a conscience with sustainable and environmentally friendly guitars
Simon Lee Cyclotron recycled guitars are beautiful, top quality instruments that also manage to be eco-friendly. Combining traditional design and with cutting edge environmentally friendly materials, these guitars are truly a thing of beauty. Unlike many traditional instruments, the guitars do not use endangered hardwoods in their production. Instead, they have a maple neck and a body made from recycled plastic, featuring top-quality hand-wound Bare Knuckle picks ups (as used by some of the world’s most famous guitarists). This allows the guitar to be eco-friendly without sacrificing the top level sound you would expect from a high quality guitar. Each guitar is handmade to order and comes in a range of finishes, depending on the material used: ‘marble’, which uses reclaimed plastics from the food industry; snow, which uses factory-reject yoghurt pots (complete with foil fragments, giving a stone-like material that polishes to a hard shine; chilli, which uses off-cuts from industrial pipes and superfresh, a mix of domestic bottles and containers, and espresso, made from recycled coffee cups. Or there is pirate, which uses crushed CDs – which were seized by Trading Standards during a raid on illegal CD production factories – suspended in the blue plastic of office water cooler bottles, if you want a guitar with a history as interesting as the songs you play on it! The guitars aren’t cheap – you wouldn’t expect instruments of this quality to be – but if you want to invest in an instrument that is beautiful, unique and will last a lifetime but doesn’t cost the earth, then Simon Lee Cyclotron guitars may be playing your tune.
