Want to know more about composting and reducing your food and garden waste?

You can compost meat in your hot composter Hotbin, Aerobin and Green Johanna, as well as Bokashi composting buckets, but it is not advisable in your standard garden compost bin. This is because meat attracts rats and vermin and the pathogens from the meat do not get killed. Hot composters can kill these pathogens.

Tea bags generally contain micro-plastics which are bad for the soil. If you want to compost tea bags, we advise plastic-free tea bags.

There is a range of options for composting. Standard garden compost bins/piles, Bokashi, Worm (Vermiculture) and hot composters like Hotbin/Aerobin. The method depends on what and why you are composting.

Not at all! A standard garden compost bin can cost as little as £30 with council subsidies. You can spend a lot more if you wish on other composters, and the costs vary depending on the composting you want to do. Please take a look at our shop.

A good compost pile must have a good balance of green and brown materials. It needs to be moist, retain heat and have access to oxygen. It would be best if you also aerate it regularly. To add a speed boost, you can use affordable compost accelerators, and most are eco-friendly.
