The green eco-eze Compots 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.
The Compot Top is made of clear plastic with a small amount of UV stabilizer added. This means it will last for several years in your garden before it deteriorates. I have had one in the garden in the same spot every day for over 8 years now and it is still going strong. There is no reason why you won’t get 10 years of use out of it as you will most likely not have it in the sun every single day like I have done to test its endurance.
POSTAGE COSTS:
To post one Compot costs the same as three Compots (unless you live in Brisbane where the rates are generally less than most other areas) so consider the postage costs when you order to get the best value out of your post.
After 3 Compots it costs roughly the same to post up to 14 Compots depending on where you live. You can test different bundles for postage costs by entering your suburb details and requesting a quote. Just don’t follow through with the order. Try another bundle to compare postage costs, and then make your choice on the bundle you want. Or call us if you can’t work this out.
The updated website and shopping cart should automatically calculate any variations of products you add to your order and offer you the three cheapest options (one with signature required) so you can choose which option you prefer, be it courier or Australia Post. However, if this does not appear to happen then please call us (0467 006 529 / (07) 3358 3716) for a correct quote or continue to payment options. We will refund you any postage charges over and above what the real cost is when we calculate and book your order if it is more than $25.00. Otherwise I put some garden supplements or seeds in your order to compensate for any difference in the post. So don’t be put off by the post.
If for any reason you feel the postage to your area is excessive (and sometimes it is to remote areas) please email us so we can work something out for you. The updated website will now give you Australia Post and courier costs, but this still may be excessive. So, contact us to see how we can help.

Let a few rest for 4 to 6 weeks and then harvest beautiful, composted, "Frass", to spread around the garden.
Why Ten?
The options are endless with 10 Compots. There is nothing you can't accomplish with 10 of these Easy Composter Bins and three propagator tops. Ten Compots means you can plant them closer together or spread them around a very large garden. Either way, you can't help but improve your soil especially if you have bad clay soil or sandy soil. Plant them a minimum of 2 meters apart so you don't over nourish your soil - if that is at all possible.
If you have a really large garden then 10 Compots could be the perfect number. But if you live alone this could be a bit of overkill. You may not have the waste to fill them all. Then again you might want to give them away as gifts. Or collect waste from restaurants, friends or neighbours, to feed your pots and your garden. When they see the change in your garden they will probably want some too.
Harvesting "Frass"
Ten Compots in your garden may not be in use all the time - as a result, you have more opportunity to harvest soil from the ones that sit idle. Therefore you have an endless supply of Composted "Frass", to use in pot plants or spread around the garden or perhaps make worm tea. Just remember to spread the Frass thinly around your garden as it is super rich.
Propagating with the composted soil
With the three tops, you can propagate to your heart’s content in whichever pot you feel like using at the time. Be sure and plant some of your Compots in the shade and some in the sun and experiment what works best for propagating in your area. If using the composted "Frass" to propagate your seeds, it can be very rich, so it's probably best to mix it with ordinary old soil. Or just use a good quality potting mix or propagation mix from the hardware store or nursery and spread the other Frass around your garden.
Experiment with what you like to grow to find out which method gets the best results and what suits the microclimate in your garden.

Your eco-eze Compot composter 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….when ready
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.
If you don’t like filling them 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. The choice is yours. Work out what works best for you.
