The Beehive Composter – a form with function

Posted on April 17th, 2009

Beehive Composter in traditional white

Although the distinctive form is deliberately reminiscent and influenced by a traditional Beehive, the Beehive Composter unit is essentially a garden composter.  The attractive design causes great confusion at garden shows with many curious onlookers believing the product to be a beehive. This unique looking garden composter is much more appealing than the typical bland and often ugly plastic looking equivalents. Instead of people trying  to hide or disguise a plastic composter, the Beehive Composter unit on the otherhand has a very distinctive and although a fully functioning composter unit it is too good looking to be hidden. This Beehive Composter is a show-off and we expect that owners would display it in a much more prominent position within the garden.  Very popular especially amongst owners of townhouse gardens, is to use the unit as a Garden Tidy, ie to store garden handtools, bucket, watering cans etc.  

The Beehive Composter unit is the ‘top of the range’ choice and it will make your compost corner an attractive feature. No need to hide plastic tubs or rotting heaps at the bottom of the garden anymore. The Beehive Composter is designed to meet the requirements of the discerning user and is an excellent composter particularly for townhouse gardens where ‘form comes before function’. It can also be used as an attractive garden tidy/store for tools etc. Quality of workmanship and finishing sets our beehive composters apart.
