FAQs

Can I put food scraps in this bin?

Yes, you can add vegetable peelings, fruit scraps, and coffee grounds, but avoid meat, dairy, or oily foods to prevent pests.

How large is the bin?

The dimensions are 74 x 74 x 86cm, providing a generous 300L capacity.

Is the wood treated against rot?

The bin is made of wood suitable for outdoor use; however, we recommend applying a weather-resistant treatment to increase its longevity.

Can I move the bin once it is full?

It is not recommended to move the bin while full, as the weight of the contents could damage the structure.

What is the benefit of the removable bottom slat?

It allows you to extract finished compost from the bottom without having to tip over the bin or dig through newer, unfinished material at the top.

Troubleshooting

Compost is too dry and not breaking down

Add water to the pile occasionally or incorporate more nitrogen-rich green waste like grass clippings.

Compost is smelling or too wet

Add more brown, carbon-rich material such as shredded cardboard or dry leaves to improve aeration.

Bin structure feels unstable

Check all connection points and ensure the bin is sitting on a perfectly level surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes healthy decomposition through superior ventilation
  • Easy access to finished compost via the bottom panel
  • Aesthetically pleasing wood construction
  • Convenient hinged lid with a built-in stay-open support

Cons

  • Requires manual assembly upon arrival
  • Wood material may require periodic treatment to extend lifespan
  • Best suited for placement on flat, level ground

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Assembly: Assemble the unit on a flat, solid surface to ensure the panels align correctly. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent the slats from shifting.
  • Placement: Place the bin directly on soil to allow worms and beneficial microorganisms to migrate into the bin, which accelerates the composting process.
  • Maintenance: To extend the life of the wood, apply an eco-friendly wood preservative annually. Keep the bin away from standing water to prevent rot at the base.
