FAQs

Can I put these bins in lawn areas?

Yes, but be aware that you will need to cut out a section of turf to accommodate the bin, which may leave a bare patch around the perimeter.

How deep should I bury the bin?

The bin should be buried deep enough so that the main body is underground, but the lid remains at or slightly above ground level for easy access.

What materials can I compost in these bins?

You can compost vegetable peels, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and small amounts of garden clippings.

Should I add worms to the bin?

While not required, earthworms will naturally find their way into the bin through the bottom, which helps accelerate the composting process significantly.

How do I move the bin once it is installed?

Simply remove the contents with a spade, pull the casing out of the ground, and reinstall it in your desired new location.

Troubleshooting

The compost is not breaking down.

Ensure you have a balance of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) waste and check that the vents are clear of soil.

Unpleasant odors emanating from the bin.

Add more dry carbon materials like shredded cardboard or straw to balance the moisture level and improve airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers nutrients directly to plant roots
  • Efficiently conceals odors and deters pests
  • Durable, long-lasting weather-resistant material
  • Compact size fits easily into existing garden borders

Cons

  • Requires manual digging for installation
  • Not suitable for hardscape areas or paved ground
  • Limited capacity per bin for large gardens

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your composter, choose a well-draining spot in your garden bed and dig a hole large enough to accommodate the 40 x 40 cm base. Place the unit into the hole, backfilling the soil around the sides until the lid remains accessible at ground level. For optimal care, avoid placing meat, dairy, or oily foods in the bin, as these can attract unwanted attention or slow down the process. Periodically check the vents to ensure they are not clogged with dirt, and rinse the interior with water once per season to maintain hygiene.
