5L Compost Bins x 6 are made from virgin plastic material that should last you roughly 10 years plus in the garden.  There are no harmful chemicals in this material and it should not break if you stand on the lid.  The lid will usually push into the pot rather than break.  If you hit it with a rotary hoe (as one customer did) it will no doubt get chopped up.  The lid is designed to take the weight of a 50 Kg child who might run across it.  I personally have jumped on them and the lid usually just pushes inside the Compot Base.  The product is guaranteed for 2 years under normal circumstances, but it should last much longer than 2 years so you get many valuable years of use out of your Compots.

POSTAGE COSTS:  Free shipping with the bundle with 2 extra eco-eze Compots and other extras

5L Compost Bins x 6  works with roughly 6 different elements – the main one and most important are the Soldier Flies. These amazing little bugs will devour anything and everything you throw at them. Composting with Black Soldier Flies  If you live in a climate that it either too hot or too cold for the Soldier Fly to survive you can still compost with the eco-eze compot.  There are so many other composters like ground critters, worms, bacteria and all kinds of invisible things that will still make your Compots work.  Thus it will still work but it will be a bit slower.  In some instances you would get better results using the Above Ground Method.   It all depends on your climate, your environment and your particular circumstances.

So where do the worms live?

The worms with this system live outside the pot in the surrounding soil.   Here they get all the left over morsels leached off the food as the Soldier Fly Larvae devour your waste.   The worms will come into the pot if the Soldier Flies have vacated after consuming as  much of your waste as they can. If you have a raised garden bed then you can (in most instances) safely use your pot for just worms with worm friendly food.  But if you find something it trying to get into your post to get the fresh waste then you know you need to soak your scraps to ferment the waste.  The fermentation smell should keep those unwanted garden critters away, even ants. Though ants really don’t like really wet soil thus really wet compost is just as much a turn off to them as saturated wet soil.  If your soil is a bit dry it is a perfect breeding ground for ants.  Keep your pots moist by continually topping them up with your waste and the ants won’t get a chance to breed up in your pots. Sometimes you will find the worms and Soldier Flies in the pots together, but only if the Soldier Fly Larvae are in small numbers. The rest of the elements all do their bit as they all work separately or in unison, to compost your waste.   If one element is not available (eg Soldier Fly Larvae) then the other elements will still do the work.   It is just a matter of working out how best to use the eco-eze compot in your garden and whether you put it in-ground or above ground.

5L Compost Bins x 6  is a clever, easy to use, in-ground, direct compost solution, designed to dispose of all your kitchen waste.  It can be adapted to suit any size garden, either large or small.  It is meant to make composting easy while nourishing your garden without the usual hard work that composting requires.

The design of the Compot allows you to fill it with all your kitchen waste including meat, citrus, onions, oil, dairy and basically anything biodegradable such as animal waste, without needing to chop it up into little pieces like you have to do with worm composting.  And, you don’t have to keep digging holes, unless of course you want to move them around your garden every 6 months or so.  That to me is too much work.

And all you have to do is keep topping it up or refilling it whenever you have any waste.  There is no need to wait for everything to decompose.  Just toss more waste on top of the old waste, lock on the lid and cover with anything but dirt or sugar cane mulch.
Simply…Fill… Forget… Refill.

Ideally, plant a few around your garden and rotate filling them.  By the time you get back to the first one, it will be well and truly ready to take more of your waste.

Plus it is super easy to harvest soil if you want to use the soil for your potted plants.

Just let one rest for 4 to 6 weeks without topping it up and it will turn into beautiful rich composted soil that is easy to scoop out with your hand or a trowel.  It turns your smelly waste into sensational soil.

If you don’t like filling your pots with everything from your kitchen you can choose to fill them with just “worm friendly” food only.  It is slower with worms and you can’t compost everything.  Only worm friendly waste.  You run the risk of attracting vermin with fresh worm friendly waste. If you find something digging around your pots you know you need to switch to soaking your scraps and attracting the Soldier Flies.  Though I have been told from customers they never have issues in raised garden beds.  Every situation is different.  The choice is yours.  Work out what works best for you.
