KETER Compost Mixer 230

 

The KETER Compost Mixer 230 is a new design concept which helps you to convert organic garden and household waste into compost for fertiliser quickly. The outstanding design feature is the geared turning handle which allows the drum in which the composting material is held to be turned effortlessly. 

The Compost Mixer is manufactured from injection moulded polypropylene which provides a rigid and strong structure. The locking latch prevents the door from opening while the drum is being rotated and the adjustable air vents provide access for the oxygen which is essential for effective decomposition. Aerobic composting (that is, composting in which oxygen is readily available) produces usable material for the garden in half the time taken when using a traditional compost heap.

Composting is becoming much more widely used as people realise the benefits associated with it. Not only does it save space in conventional waste disposal landfill facilities, but it also provides a nutritious supplement for the garden and reduces the need to use commercial fertilisers to build up soil quality in the garden. Many areas in Australia have very poor soil quality, making it difficult to grow and maintain plants other than local indigenous species. The addition of good quality compost not only provides nutrients for a wide range of plants but also assists with retention of water and reduces its usage.

The KETER Compost Mixer 230 is currently available on special at Landera, and we are offering free delivery Australia wide. Check this great product out at http://landera.com.au/composters/keter-compost-tumbler-230-litre.

 

 

 

 

Timber garden sheds easy to install

Quality design and manufacture makes assembly of Cedar Shed range of timber garden sheds easy

The Landera range of Western Red Cedar Garden sheds is manufactured in Australia.  This range offers a high quality alternative to the more commonly used zinc or colour garden sheds. Cedar Shed products offer size alternatives from 1.93 x 0.94 metres to 2.53 x 3.64 metres, and are supplied as easy to assemble pre-made panels. 

Installation of the Cedar garden shed products is a relatively simple process. The first step is to choose a nice level site in your yard. The floor position is marked out in a base constructed either using a recommended Stilla rebated floor or by laying a concrete slab. If the site is out of level, a good option to consider is the heavy duty floor kit. This has been specifically designed to reduce site works where the ground is not level.

Once the floor is in position the next step is to erect the pre-made walls. Starting at the front corner, the panels are joined and gables fastened into position. The roof is then assembled on the ground, lifted into position and fastened to the walls. Next the hinges are attached to the door, the door fastened to the wall and the door handle installed. Finally, the corner posts, cover strips, fascias and the ridge capping are attached to complete the product.

As well as the optional rebated floor kit and heavy duty floor kit (which includes a rebated floor), the Landera products can be modified to suit your situation by including double opening doors, opening windows, and handy loft shelves for maximising internal storage. Interestingly, Cedar Sheds, particularly the larger Glendale and Master Shed, are often used for workshops and garden studios as well as for storing household and garden items.

The Cedar Shed range includes the Birch 6 x 3, the Palmwood 6 x 6, the Oxford 6 x 9, the Glendale 8 x 8 and the Master Shed 8 x 12.  For more information, see http://www.landera.com.au/garden-sheds-timber .

 

Greenhouses worth taking a serious look at!

SILVER LINE MYTHOS 6 x 8 GREENHOUSE

If you are interested in greenhouses for your garden, it would be well worth your while considering the new Silver Line Mythos 6 x 8 which is currently on sale at Landera. This greenhouse features the same robust and durable framing system as the standard Silver Line units, but is glazed with Twinwall polycarbonate sheet instead of the clear moulded panels. Twinwall polycarbonate glazing is particularly useful on greenhouses installed in highland areas and inland locations where temperatures can drop to sub-zero levels at night. The Twinwall structure of the polycarbonate glazing provides very good insulating properties and helps to stabilise temperatures inside the unit.

As with all the Silver Line greenhouses manufactured by Palram, the MYTHOS 6 x 8 is supplied in kit form with very comprehensive assembly instructions; (these are in diagram format – similar to the style IKEA uses – easy to follow in a logical step-by-step process). At Landera we have been supplying the Palram greenhouses for 2 years now, and have had excellent feedback – very few requests for assistance with assembly problems.
