Specification Blackwall Compost Converter specification. The bin needs to be sited directly on soil to ensure drainage and good microbial action, and in a part or fully shaded spot. The sides are single-skin plastic with no additional ventilation or insulation, so it was the slowest to produce compost in our trial.

Garden waste including lawn mowings, chopped up prunings and weeds, brown cardboard and plain paper, kitchen waste such as vegetable peelings, tea bags and coffee grounds, but not cooked food. A basic and budget compost bin that would be adequate for anyone with a small garden.

This bin is good from an eco-friendly point of view, especially the black model which is made totally from recycled plastic the green model is 70 per cent recycled. These bins are often the first bin owned by many people and forms their introduction to composting. However the range of plastic bins is large and there are a variety of more expensive and better bins to which composters can progress. These include square, slotted and insulated bins with larger models compete with thermometers, to monitor temperature costing several hundred pounds.

The details below is not exhaustive but if I have missed one which you as a user or supplier would like included please contact me. These bins consist of a recycled plastic open at the top and bottom. They are normally supplied with a separate, rather than an attached, lid and, in some cases a base plate. They usually have an inspection or harvesting hatch at the bottom. In some models, the hatch is held in place by pushing part of it behind the edge of the bin.

When the bin is filled, it may distort slightly making refitting the hatch difficult after harvesting and, overtime, the plastic edges of the hatch may split. Replacement hatches may be purchased from Get Composting. Given the choice, some decide to pay a little more and get one of the versions with a sliding hatch.

In most cases, the hatch is relatively small and although it is relatively easy to harvest compost using a border spade many people prefer to harvest and remix the compost by tapping the bin to loosen the contents and lifting the bin leaving a neat compost mound. The empty bin can be placed on the ground next to the heap and the uncomposted material forked into the now empty bin.

I have a colleague who uses this technique to aerate the compost emptying and refilling the bin fortnightly. This style of bin is normally supplied in black or green. The bin is light in weight and can be easily lifted off the compost for emptying and moved round the garden to meet changing needs. Empty or partly filled bin, tops or hatches may be blown across the garden or allotment site by strong winds.

On allotments this enables plot holders to play hunt the bin and talk others on the site. Crop straw and other organic waste fertilizer organic waste converter Fermentation tank for home.
