A wooden beehive design is both attractive and discreet, so you can keep the waste matter hidden while it goes through its decomposing process. The design also allows for sufficient airflow, which helps with decomposition. Specifications One of the most difficult parts of the composting process, when using a compost bin, is turning over the material every few weeks. Due to most compost bin designs, it can be hard to get in there with a garden fork and get the job done. 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. Other things to think about before buying a compost bin- Size and shape Apart from that, I have nothing to complain about. This setup is made from sturdy materials, you get everything you need apart from the worms and food scraps, and the price isn’t too bad at all for this kind of product. Definitely worth some consideration. As standard, this bin can hold up to 110 gallons, or 420 litres, that’s 100 more litres than our best overall compost bin. But that’s not all, if you want to increase the size of the DF Omer, there is an extension section you can buy and this brings the max capacity to 172 gallons. The downside to this type of compost bin is that the things you put into it don’t mix together very well, so you can either turn it over with a fork occasionally, or invest in a compost bin with a tumbler built in. Q: What can I put in my compost bin?One of the best features of this beehive design is that the wooden slats have spaces between them, and this gives the kind of excellent ventilation that is so hard to find on plastic compost bins. The bottom is also open so as to allow worms to crawl up and aid the decomposing process, but this means it’s probably not the best choice for leaving on a shard surface like concrete.. On the plus side, the dual compartments mean that you can have 2 batches of compost on the go at different stages of decomposition, which can come in very handy for certain purposes. The bin holds heat well too, and there are multiple vents for airflow and also drainage points for excess water.

It comes with 5 worm trays as standard, but its modular design means you can buy extra trays if you require them, or even use less trays if you’re short on space such as on the balcony of a flat. You won’t get any worms in the box though, so you’ll have to go out and buy those yourself. The thing you need to be aware of with this, or any vermicompost product, is that it won’t produce the amount of, or even the same kind of, compost that you can rub through your fingers like soil. What you get instead, is a fertiliser liquid, that you can drain out using the provided tap, and then spray it onto your plants.Planting mint nearby is also a possible rat deterrent – rats and mice apparently don’t like the smell, so it is definitely worth placing a plant or two near your bin.
