What is the right location for my composter?

When choosing a location make sure that the composter is situated in a location that is easily accessible from the house and garden. Think about the neighbours and place it at least 0.5m from their property.
The composter should be directly on the ground, this allows micro-organisms to have access to your composter. You will need to fit the grid (accessory) into the base of your composter to protect it from rodents.
The surface should be earth, concrete, stone and asphalt floors are not recommended. Composting is hindered if the composter is installed in the sun or semi-shade. The composter needs the sun's heat to evaporate the water but should not dry out completely. The composter should be installed in a place protected from the wind but not without aeration, air movement is important as it needs fresh air.

What is the right way to fill my composter for the first time?

The first filling of the composter is done with bulky material, e.g. leaves or branches to form the bottom layer. This makes it easier for air to enter the composter from the bottom and better drains excess water. Make sure that kitchen and garden waste is mixed in for the next layers. If you have any active compost you can add it to the bottom layer.

What is the best way to compost?

The better the compost you mix, the easier and better it will compost. Do not fill the composter all at once, it is better to fill it slowly with the organic waste produced daily. Kitchen waste has a high water content. Ensuring good aeration and a good air supply is very important for good compost. Wet waste has to be mixed with dry waste and coarse materials with fine materials.

Remember: Your composter is not a rubbish heap, you cannot throw everything away without consideration. If you want it to do its job properly, you must add waste selectively.

What can I put in the composter?

Fruit and vegetable waste, coffee grounds, tea leaves, egg shells (crushed), pot plants, cut flowers, grass clippings and leaves.

Tip: wet waste should be mixed with dry waste and coarse material with fine material. If good aeration is available, there is nothing to stop the production of good compost. Make sure that the compost is kept moist. The compost should not be too dry or too wet.

What waste should I not put in the composter?

Meat, fish, food scraps, bread, sausages, cheese rinds, bones, diseased plants, charcoal or charcoal ashes, cigarettes, hoover bags, rubbish, medicines and nutshells.

Can I compost during the winter?

To get better compost from kitchen waste in winter, you should add dry leaves and garden waste, collected in autumn. Compost slows down during the cold months.

How do I check that my compost is ready?

You can perform a test to determine that the compost is ready:

1. Fill a jar one-third full with compost, scatter watercress seeds over the compost, water and cover.

2. Observe how the plants grow.

3. If the plants turn green and the roots are white in colour, the compost is ready for use. If the plants that emerge are brown, the compost is not ready.
