Description
The Solar Digester is made up of 3 basic parts - an in-ground basket, an inner opaque black cone, and a green translucent outer cone with lid. The buried digestion chamber basket holds your food scraps while the soil organisms break it down. Sunlight penetrates the outer cone, heating the layer of air between the two cones. The heat is then passively circulated through the system, creating an ideally warm and aerobic environment for the micro-organisms, even in cold weather.
