4smile 300 Litre Garden Composter Bin Composting Waste Box Recycling Eco Storage, Plastic, Black

Product Information

Even if you forked out for one of the high end compost bins, like the Hotbin, the money that you’d save on buying new soil and ready made compost from the garden centre, would more than make it worth it, over time. How to use a compost bin Not much to say except this composter came 5 days earlier than expected (good) and was incredibly easy to snap together, though the lid hinges did need a good solid clout to get them united. It's a nice big size and looks as though it should last a few years at the bottom of the garden. It comes with 5 worm trays as standard, but its modular design means you can buy extra trays if you require them, or even use less trays if you’re short on space such as on the balcony of a flat. You won’t get any worms in the box though, so you’ll have to go out and buy those yourself. The VermiHut Plus is the new, upgraded, version of an already very popular vermicompost set up, building on a solid basic design with some very practical new features.

Apart from that, I have nothing to complain about. This setup is made from sturdy materials, you get everything you need apart from the worms and food scraps, and the price isn’t too bad at all for this kind of product. Definitely worth some consideration.Rats are drawn to the food sources, and the warmth and shelter, of a compost bin, so you should remove these things to discourage these pests. Pretty much anything else goes, as long as it is organic material. Q: How to get rid of rats in a compost bin?

If you’re just starting out your journey towards reducing your carbon footprint, then the Whitefurze 220L Compost Bin is the ideal option for first timers. The 220 l capacity is more than enough for small to medium homes with average waste and garbage. Although simple at first glance, this compost bin has some nice little features that aren’t commonly found on such products. For instance, there are little plastic feet for the bottom tray to sit in that are designed to trap ants, and the ‘M-board’ that’ll prevent the tray bedding from dropping into the liquid and also help with ventilation. The 4smile compost bin is made from recycled plastic and all the pieces slot together without the need for tools. As much as I enjoyed the easy assembly, I had my doubts about how sturdy the finished structure would be, but I’m pleased to be able to say my worries weren’t warranted. Having said that, I don’t think it would stand up to strong gales, so you’d probably be best securing the bin to a fence or something. One of the best features of this beehive design is that the wooden slats have spaces between them, and this gives the kind of excellent ventilation that is so hard to find on plastic compost bins. The bottom is also open so as to allow worms to crawl up and aid the decomposing process, but this means it’s probably not the best choice for leaving on a shard surface like concrete.. Composting is an excellent way to benefit your garden and the environment. By creating compost from your organic waste, you can enrich your soil with essential nutrients, improving its health and structure. Composting can be done in various ways, from traditional garden compost heaps to compost bins and compost tumblers. Organic compost is a natural fertiliser, which can help you achieve sustainable gardening practices, reducing your reliance on chemical fertilisers. Incorporating composting into your gardening routine is a simple way to improve soil health and promote organic gardening. With some gardening tips and garden design inspiration, you can create a beautiful and sustainable garden, all while reducing your environmental impact.Speaking of cost, this is one area that might put a lot of people off, but I guess it all comes down to how seriously you take your gardening and composting. If you’re new to all this, I’d probably go with a budget bin like 4smile product, or maybe even stretch to buy our best overall bin from Easipet, as hot compost bins are not the best things to learn on. You have 30 calendar days to return an item from the date you received it. To be eligible for a return: The main two materials are plastic and wood, but you can also find metal bins and tumblers out there too. Obviously, wooden products like the Easipet compost bin, are better for the environment than plastic, but they don’t retain heat quite as well, and you have to make sure you paint or stain them to avoid damage from rot and insects. If you are adding food scraps such as vegetable peelings to your compost bin, bury them down a little beneath the existing layer of composts, so the smell is masked. A wooden beehive design is both attractive and discreet, so you can keep the waste matter hidden while it goes through its decomposing process. The design also allows for sufficient airflow, which helps with decomposition. Specifications
