If you’ve been reading up on composting, you probably know by now that you can either have aerobic or non-aerobic composting. Briefly recapping, the difference lies with the type of micro-organisms that break down the organic material into what we use as compost: the process can be either aerobic (literally meaning involving air) or anaerobic/non-aerobic (where the breaking down is done without air).

Aerobic composting is much superior to the anaerobic kind. It means your “ingredients” will break down faster and almost no smelly side effects (whereas anaerobic composting tends to produce more smelly gas).

The problem? To get the desired aerobic process going, you have to take time to manually turn your compost heap, at least once a week. Now, some folks love this type of work, taking care of their precious heap as if it were a family pet. They know what its temperature is on any given day and nurture it accordingly. However, if you want to take composting to the next level, or if you want to save on manual labor, Earthmaker has the solution for you:

This dark looking talk is an advanced aerobic composter with three chambers. Operated by the force of gravity, it moves organic material through the chamber for continuous cycling and perfect aeration. This means both faster composting, producing up to 10 gallons per month, and less gas emission (in other words, eco-friendly and doesn’t stink ).

So, if you recycle organic waste for your lawn, you may want to consider moving on to this smart system. Check it out on Amazon here.

Here’s a unique piece of lawn decor, or garden decor, if you will. Not only does it feature a delicate fairy – a favorite theme for many a gardener – but it has another magical quality: it lights up your garden at night time:

You see, this pretty sculpture has a built-in lighted globe with its own solar-powered ni-cad batteries. Its  photo cell sensor can tell when it turns dark outside and that’s when the globe gets lit up with a soft delicate shine. It will stay lit for several hours (four to six, according to the manufacturer), giving a soft glow to a special corner of your lawn.
