New to Composting?
Composting just happens – it’s nature’s way of keeping our planet clean – and by using your new Composter you can give nature a helping hand, and keep your garden tidy too!
1. Where to put your Composter
It’s best to place it on a level, well-drained piece of soil as this allows excess water to drain out and makes it easier for worms, microbes etc to get in and help break down your compost. If you situate your composter on concrete then add a thin layer of soil to get it started and to attract worms and other helpful organisms.
2. Things to put in your Composter
Good things to put into your composter include ‘greens’, like vegetable peelings, fruit waste, teabags, plant prunings, and grass cuttings. Chop into smaller pieces for best results. Other good things to put in are ‘browns’, like shredded paper, scrunched up cardboard, dry leaves, hedge clippings and crushed eggshells. It’s good to maintain a balance between ‘greens’ and ‘browns’.
3. What not to put in your Composter
Certain things should never go in your compost bin; these include cooked vegetables, meat, dairy products, diseased plants, dog or cat litter, nappies, or perennial weeds such as dandelions or thistles. Putting these in your composter will encourage unwanted pests and can also create odour.
4. How to make good compost
The key is to get the mix of materials right, by keeping your ‘greens’ and ‘browns’ balanced. If your compost seems too wet add more ‘browns’, too dry add more ‘greens’. Making sure there is enough air in your composter will also help, so by adding scrunched up bits of cardboard is an easy way to create air pockets, or you could stir it about. After about 6-9 months your compost should be ready to use!
5. Using your compost
Finished compost should be dark brown, almost black soil-like layer that you will find at the bottom of the composter, it should have a spongy texture. Use the hatch at the bottom of the composter to take out the ready compost and spread it into your flowerbeds and garden. The compost will greatly improve soil quality by helping it retain moisture and help suppress weeds.
