4smile 300 Litre Garden Composter Bin Composting Waste Box Recycling Eco Storage, Plastic, Black

Product Information

What really impresses is that even though the wooden bin comes flat-packed, you don’t need any tools to assemble it. Composting is an essential process in creating nutrient-rich soil that is vital for the growth and health of plants. For instance, there are little plastic feet for the bottom tray to sit in that are designed to trap ants, and the ‘M-board’ that’ll prevent the tray bedding from dropping into the liquid and also help with ventilation. In fact, the simplest method of home composting involves starting an open pile somewhere in a far corner of your yard.

Organic compost is a natural fertiliser that is crucial for sustainable gardening practices, helping to reduce the reliance on chemical fertilisers that can harm the environment. Made from tough, hardy plastic, the Eco Friendly Waste Box from 4Smile comes with a fairly large 300l capacity. As well as giving you nutrient-filled compost at hyperspeed, the Hotbin also produces liquid fertiliser and there’s a handy little outlet, right there at the bottom, for you to retrieve it easily.

Another thing to think about is how much time you have to dedicate to your compost, as a large compost bin, such as the 4 20 litre DF Omer model, will need more attention to keep it working properly, and the manual labour required will increase too. My name is Jack Bennett, and I have been gardening for nearly five years now, and it has become my passion.

Unlike most of the other compost bins we are featuring on this page, the VermiHut Plus can be used both indoors and outdoors.A good ratio to start with, that has been proven to produce good results, is 40/60 green and brown material, put down in alternating layers. Although simple at first glance, this compost bin has some nice little features that aren’t commonly found on such products. When trying to choose a compost bin as our best overall, we decided that it should be a good all-rounder, and something that would suit the majority of people here in the UK. The base hatch means that the ready compost is easily accessible, so there's no need to empty the whole bin and sort. The 200 litres maximum laid might not sound like a lot, and is considerably less than many of the other bins in this list, but when you’re pumping out compost so regularly in summer, you won’t find yourself wanting for something larger.

Using a compost bin to transform your garden and kitchen waste into a nutrient rich material is one of the cheapest ways to improve the condition of your soil – it’s also a great solution to your green waste problem. Thanks to its plastic cover, it produces the highest internal temperature of any of the wooden bins on test, guaranteeing fantastic compost. Simply put the food waste or garden waste (lawn trimmings etc) into the composter, and assuming the material is biodegradable, eventually, over time this will break down to create a nutrient-rich mulch.The composter is certainly bigger than I had imagined from the picture - but none the less good value for all that.

This ticks all the boxes for me, and as long as you’re willing to give it a coat of stain, paint, or some other preserver, every now and again, it should last you a fair while.Tumblers make this much easier as you can spin them around, but there is a limit to how much you can load in a tumbler before it gets very heavy and difficult to move. The lower access hatch isn’t quite as big as the lid, but still a practical size and you won’t struggle to remove the compost once it’s fully cooked. These specialised worms mix and break down the compost quickly and produce a nutrient-rich liquid for use as a fertiliser. In turn, gardeners get healthy, fast growing plants with deep, strong roots and vibrant, bountiful blooms.
