FAQs
How long does it take to get compost?
Depending on the materials and conditions, it can take 3-6 months to produce finished compost.
What can I compost?
You can compost a wide variety of materials, including food scraps (fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds), yard waste (grass clippings, leaves), and shredded paper. Avoid meat, dairy, and oily foods, as these can attract pests.
How do I maintain the moisture level?
The compost should be as moist as a wrung-out sponge. If it's too dry, add water. If it's too wet, add more brown materials.
What if I don't have enough 'brown' material?
Use shredded paper, cardboard, or dry leaves to supplement the brown materials.
How do I extract the finished compost?
Open one of the access doors at the bottom of the bin and scoop out the finished compost. You may need to shift some of the upper layers.
What is the bin made of?
The bin is made from 100% recycled plastic, which is UV-protected.
Where should I place the compost bin?
Place the compost bin on a level surface in a partially shaded area of your yard. This helps to maintain consistent moisture levels and temperature.
Troubleshooting
The compost smells bad.
This indicates a lack of oxygen. Turn the compost more frequently to aerate it. Also, make sure you have the correct balance of green and brown materials.
The compost is too dry.
Add water. The compost should be moist but not soggy. Add more green materials.
Pests are getting in.
Ensure the lid is properly closed, and the rimmed lip is properly fitted. Bury food scraps and other potentially attractive materials.
Composting seems slow.
Ensure there's a good balance of green and brown materials. Chop up larger items to increase surface area. Turn the compost regularly.
