No, it is recommended to stick to fruit and vegetable scraps to prevent pests and unpleasant odors.
Bury it deep enough so that the lid remains accessible above the soil line, typically around 20-30cm deep.
Each bin measures 40cm in height, 40cm in width, and 52cm in depth.
The bin is designed with a secure lid to discourage pests; however, avoid putting meat, dairy, or fats in the bin as these are the primary attractants.
Yes, but since they are designed to be partially buried, you will need to re-dig the hole to move them.
You can harvest the nutrient-rich soil around the base of the bin whenever you notice the breakdown is complete, usually every 3-6 months depending on local temperatures.
Ensure the air holes are clear of debris. Add more 'green' nitrogen-rich waste or ensure there is enough moisture inside.
Check if soil or debris has built up in the locking mechanism and rinse with water to clear.
Ensure the lid is fully snapped shut and consider adding carbon-rich materials like shredded cardboard to balance the mix.
Installation is straightforward: select a spot in your garden with well-draining soil, dig a hole that accommodates the lower portion of the 40cm x 40cm x 52cm bin, and backfill the dirt firmly around the sides to keep it stable.
Compatibility: These bins work best in established garden beds or raised borders. Avoid installing them in areas prone to heavy waterlogging or standing water, as this can lead to anaerobic conditions.
Care: Maintenance is minimal. Periodically check that the ventilation holes are not clogged with soil to ensure proper airflow. If the compost becomes too dry, you can add a small amount of water or green waste. At the end of the season, simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth; the durable plastic does not require specialized chemical cleaners.
