CPB150 150 LITRES ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY COMPOST BIN
Composting as a gardening activity continues to grow in popularity among environmentally conscious people. Consider the amount of waste we produce on a daily basis and composting becomes the organic contribution we must partake in doing our own individual part to offset the land usage for waste disposal. Composting what we throw away and reinvest it back to the earth. SAVING GAIA.
WHY COMPOST?
Composting saves you money by lowering garbage bills and replacing the need for commercial soil amendments and fertilizers.
Composting benefits your garden and container plants by improving the fertility and health of your soil. Plants grown in healthy soil are more resistant to pests and diseases. As mulch, compost suppresses weeds and reduces the need for pest controls and sprays.
Composting saves water by helping the soil hold moisture, reducing evaporation and water runoff. Using compost as mulch will also benefit plants by keeping roots cooler.
Composting helps the environment by recycling valuable organic resources and extending the lifetime of our landfills.
IDEAL SITE
If you have to put your compost bin on concrete, tarmac or patio slabs ensure there’s a layer of paper and twigs or existing compost on the bottom so the worms and other creatures can colonise. Choose a place where you can easily add ingredients to the bin and get the compost out. Placing your bin in either partial shade or a sunny spot can help speed up the composting process. This unit is open-bottomed and best used on grass or earth.
The reason you should site your bin on soil is that it makes it very easy for beneficial microbes and insects to gain access to the rotting material. It also allows for better aeration and drainage, both important to successful composting.
