Wooden Composters

NEW PRODUCTS - INTRODUCTORY PRICES AVAILABLE

New to Original Organics - The Home Composting Specialists. These wooden composters are handmade in the Ribble Valley and are of exceptional quality.

FSC All the wood used is specifically slow grown for strength and durability and is strictly sourced only from FSC sustainable forests. Only non-toxic wood preservative is used, which is kind to insects and wildlife and therefore not harm worms or bugs in the compost, unlike tanalised (CCA) timber.

These wooden compost bins contain no nails or screws and there are no holes to dig, meaning they can be fully assembled in a matter of minutes.

Double Wooden Composters Standing at almost 30 inches high and offering a very generous capacity, these compost bins have been specifically designed to eliminate back strain when lifting materials into it.

Our Wooden Composters are suitable for garden and kitchen waste and feature sliding panels for easy access. What's more, because of the unique design, these bins can be easily expanded with additional modules to add even more capacity and value. Use a twin or double bin and wait for one side to mature, whilst filling the other!

COMPOST DUVETS

The Compost Duvet has been developed to prevent heat loss in the compost in the early stages of decomposition. Heat builds up naturally and if it can be maintained it can destroy weeds, seeds and disease.

This entirely new concept has proved to maintain high temperatures within the compost, both day and night. It will also keep out frosts in winter.

The Duvet fits snugly into our wooden bins but it can be used on any compost pile or in any compost bin and has fixing rings for easy management.

Size: 840mm x 840mm

What is FSC Wood?

The Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) Principles & Criteria
It is widely accepted that forest resources and associated lands should be managed to
meet the social, economic, ecological, cultural and spiritual needs of present and future
generations. Furthermore, growing public awareness of forest destruction and degradation has led consumers to demand that their purchases of wood and other forest products will not contribute to this destruction but rather help to secure forest resources for the future. In response to these demands, certification and self-certification programs of wood products have proliferated in the marketplace.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international body which accredits
certification organizations in order to guarantee the authenticity of their claims. In all cases the process of certification will be initiated voluntarily by forest owners and managers who request the services of a certification organization. The goal of FSC is to promote environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests, by establishing a worldwide standard of recognized and respected.

Principles of Forest Stewardship
The FSC's Principles and Criteria (P&C) apply to all tropical, temperate and boreal forests. Many of these P&C apply also to plantations and partially replanted forests. More detailed standards for these and other vegetation types may be prepared at national and local levels.

The P&C are to be incorporated into the evaluation systems and standards of all certification organizations seeking accreditation by FSC. While the P&C are mainly designed for forests managed for the production of wood products, they are also relevant, to varying degrees, to forests managed for non-timber products and other services. The P&C are a complete package to be considered as a whole, and their sequence does not represent an ordering of priority.

This document shall be used in conjunction with the FSC's Statutes, Procedures for Accreditation and Guidelines for Certifiers. FSC and FSC-accredited certification organizations will not insist on perfection in satisfying the P&C. However, major failures in any individual Principles will normally

disqualify a candidate from certification, or will lead to decertification. These decisions will be taken by individual certifiers, and guided by the extent to which each Criterion is
satisfied, and by the importance and consequences of failures. Some flexibility will be
allowed to cope with local circumstances.

The scale and intensity of forest management operations, the uniqueness of the affected resources, and the relative ecological fragility of the forest will be considered in all certification assessments. Differences and difficulties of interpretation of the P&C will be addressed in national and local forest stewardship standards. These standards are to be developed in each country or region involved, and will be evaluated for purposes of
certification, by certifiers and other involved and affected parties on a case by case basis.

If necessary, FSC dispute resolution mechanisms may also be called upon during the course of assessment. More information and guidance about the certification and
accreditation process is included in the FSC Statutes, Accreditation Procedures, and
Guidelines for Certifiers. The FSC P&C should be used in conjunction with national and international laws and regulations. FSC intends to complement, not supplant, other initiatives that support responsible forest management worldwide.

The FSC will conduct educational activities to increase public awareness of the importance of the following:
*improving forest management;
* incorporating the full costs of management and production into the price of forest
products;
* promoting the highest and best use of forest resources;
* reducing damage and waste; and
* avoiding over-consumption and over-harvesting.
