This low maintenance composter recycles all food scraps (except meat and dairy) as well as garden waste such as lawn clippings, leaves, twigs and even newspaper.
So, what makes the Aerobin different to your average composter?
The Aerobin has:
A central aeration lung which means that there is no need to aerate by hand.
Insulated side walls to support efficient composting year round.
A leachate tank at the bottom of the system, allowing you to collect and use leachate in your garden.
A moisture recirculation system.
Thermal insulation around the bin stabilizes temperature all year round to create the perfect environment for hot composting, a process which reduces the time needed to break down organic matter and also kills dangerous pathogens, weeds and seeds that could could potentially be a risk to your garden. Matched with the central aeration lung and moisture recirculation system, the Aerobin makes composting easy and efficient!
Important information
The Aerobin needs to be installed on a level, solid foundation (not soil or lawn). Concrete or paved paths, concrete pads, bricks or heavy timber are all ideal.
