Composter design

This is probably the best investment you can make for your garden this year. We get asked so often about home composting, with most people’s solutions far from functional. We see a lot of smelly rot systems and the dreaded plastic sweat bins, with many putting their food waste in the states collections and their green waste to the tip, then buying compost as if the two are unrelated… so we figured we’d start making up simple home systems with a fact/cheat sheet. Most of the systems we run simply don’t scale down so easily, so with a bit of inspiration from our friend Josh over the pond, we have built this to test at home. The wire frame ensures aeration, a key component of the composting process, the connection to the soil enables the biology to get busy, and the tub… well the tub does many things, it collects rain water, makes for an easy drop off for kitchen and garden scraps when passing and also provides a great place to pre mix your materials before tipping into the wire stack below. We have three in beta at present to iron out any details and then we’ll be building to order. Interested? Pre order with us now to get one of the first off the shelf. #soilhealth #soilfoodweb #soilbiology #composting #homecomposting #zerowaste #gardening #compost #soil
