With a generous 110L capacity, its thermal insulation structure conserves heat, leading to a rapid breakdown of waste material so it works efficiently all year round. A vertical ventilation system provides the optimum conditions for micro-organisms to break down waste material evenly and efficiently while an automatically activated carbon filtration system helps eliminate unpleasant odours and avoids attracting pests and vermin. Monitor the internal temperature of your composter with the easy-to-read external thermometer - the higher the temperature the faster the waste material is breaking down.The best mix of materials is a balance of wet and dry waste - dry products such as twigs and leaves will aid aeration and speed up the composting process. A built-in reservoir chamber at the base of the composter collects liquid from the composting process, providing an organic, nutrient-rich fertiliser that is ideal for your garden and plants. Crafted from durable HDPE/EPP in sleek black, this advanced composter is the perfect eco-friendly solution for any garden.What’s included:1 x Thermal Hot Composter1 x External Thermometer1 x Hose & Tap for collecting the liquid run-off1 x Carbon Filtration System1 x Hand SpadeSpecification: Capacity: 110LDimensions: 84 x 55 x 55cmsMaterial HDPE/EPPInstructions: Please note the composter should be placed on a solid, level surface in an area that has good sunlight.Best Material Mix:Wet Waste: Food scraps, vegetable peelings, lawn clippings, weeds, tea bags, unwanted fruit.Dry Waste: Brown leaves, small twigs, paper, straw.Do Not Use: Oils, glossy magazines/paper, wood/timber.
