Compost Bin - Advice

  • Site the composter on soil or lawn
    • If using a concrete base, add a layer of soil 5cm thick to the composter
    • You can also add a layer of weed fabric on concrete first, before posiyioning your bin
  • Add some woody plant stems at the bottom of the composter to
    • Help drainage
    • Help air circulation
  • It is important to maintain a good mix of green & brown materials
  • Keep the lid on to help retain heat
  • Compost is produced more quickly in the Summer than in the Winter
  • It takes between 6-12 months to produce good quality compost
  • It is possible to add an organic activator to aid the process

When is Your Compost Ready?

  • The compost should be crumbly, dark & moist
    • If it is not quite ready, leave it for another few weeks
    • Some material like egg shells might not fully break down but this will not effect the quality of your compost
