GARDENING WITH NATURE

It all begins
with living
soil.

Plant waste becomes a new source of life. Compost gives your soil back what your garden needs to grow. The HANDY Thermo-Composter creates favourable conditions and supports this natural process.

01 / THE PRINCIPLE

Nothing goes to waste.
Everything becomes a new beginning.

Nature knows no waste. In four steps, organic material becomes food for plants once again.

THE ORGANIC CYCLE
What grows gives something
back to the soil.
  1. 01

    New life

    Grow and ripen

    Plants take up nutrients and develop leaves, flowers and fruit.

  2. 02

    Natural change

    Back to the earth

    Leaves and plant waste fall to the ground, laying the foundation for new growth.

  3. 03

    Valuable transformation

    Humus forms

    Soil organisms break down organic material, forming humus and releasing nutrients.

  4. 04

    Renewed fertility

    Naturally nourished

    Nutrients are available to plants again. The cycle starts anew.

02 / LIFE IN THE SOIL

Small helpers.
A big impact.

Beneath our feet, a whole network works for your garden.

Microorganisms and other soil life break down plant waste and release nutrients. They are nature’s digestive system and the foundation of living soil.

Supporting soil life helps your garden stay naturally fertile.

03 / THE THERMO-COMPOSTER

Nature does the work.
HANDY creates the right conditions.

Microorganisms turn plant waste into compost. HANDY supports this natural process: its double walls retain the heat generated inside and protect the material from drying out.

01

Heat stays inside.

Air chambers in the walls and lid reduce heat loss. Nature’s helpers can stay active even in cooler weather.

02

Moisture in balance.

The enclosed design also protects the edges. Good care still matters: mix well, fill loosely and keep the material as moist as a wrung-out sponge.

03

Back to the garden sooner.

Under good conditions, fresh compost for mulching can form in about 6–8 weeks. Materials, mixing, moisture and weather determine the pace.

Good for the soil.
Simple for you.
