How does HOTBIN MK.2 work?

The HOTBIN is like no other compost bin on the market, it will quickly chomp through all your food and garden waste turning it into rich, organic compost .The unique material properties insulate the heat generated naturally by bacteria as it breaks the waste down in the HOTBIN. Working as an aerobic composter, air is drawn in through the mesh plate at the bottom and expelled as steam through the valve in the lid. HOTBIN is a continuous composter. Add waste in the top and after 30-90 days, the hatch can easily be removed from the lower part of the bin and the compost removed. The base of the HOTBIN also includes a tap to draw off leachate (liquid fertiliser) from the unit. The HOTBIN is a sealed unit with a sealed base.

What do I need to add?

You will need a minimum quantity of 5 Kgs of waste per week to maintain hot composting. (5 Kgs is 10 litres, one large kitchen caddy the average for a Irish household.) Add in shredded paper or card to control moisture (a good way to get rid of your recycled paper) and bulking agent (partially composted woodchip) to provide aeration.
