How To Use

This Aerobin hot garden composter bin works best when at least half full and waste should be premixed before its loaded into the bin to avoid any concentrations of individual matter.

If you want to get the hot composting process underway quickly, add a layer (about 5cm) of non-sterilised compost to the base of the bin.

Problem solving:

Problem: Too wet

Compost not heating up

Bad smell

Not decomposing well

Solution:

Take out the material and add back in with layers of dry, brown material (leaves, sawdust, wood shavings). 

Newspaper (if scrunched up/shredded) counts as brown material and will help. 

If larger leaves and garden material not decomposing, shred into smaller pieces.

Problem: Too dry

Not decomposing

Solution:

Take out the material and start the process again. Take care to layer, dry brown materials between wet, green materials (grass, kitchen scraps, other plant material).

If compost is too dry, it becomes water repellent and is difficult to re-wet. 

Avoid putting dry materials in hot composter bin, unless mixed or moistened with wet, green materials.

Problem: Insects

Garden composter bin attracting insects

Solution:

It is normal to have flies and small insects in and around the hot garden composter bin. They are a natural part of decomposition. 

If these insects are annoying, cover with shredded paper, grass clippings, or use a pyrethrum spray.
