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.

Some things grow better in the sun and some things grow better in the shade.   So plant one in the shade and one in the sun and perhaps one in filtered light thus giving yourself plenty of options to choose from.   Then see what grows best in which spot and over time you will work out what works in your garden.  If you find you need more Portable Composter Propagator Tops you can always get them another time.

When can I propagate?

Propagating can vary depending on the time of year, the temperature, the soil, the humidity etc.  Hence a little knowledge about what grows in your area will bring you greater success with your propagator.  Check with your local nursery of suitable plants to grow or do a little research on the net.   I have had great success with everything I have grown so far but naturally, I’ve not tried everything there is to grow.  And what works in my area may not work in your area so just keep experimenting and having some fun. Having the three Portable Composter Propagator Tops gives you more opportunity to experiment more and hence get better results.   If you are growing wheatgrass you should never run out of wheatgrass because you will have enough tops to overlap the growing time.  Definitely better if you are more than one person who loves wheatgrass juice each day as a nutrient booster. Alternately if you have chickens you can put one in your chicken pen and two in your garden to nourish and improve your soil while feeding your chickens at the same time.   Or you can have two for your chickens and one for you.  It’s up to you.  There is no right way or wrong way.

Using the Top directly in the garden

You don’t necessarily need to use the propagator on top of the eco-eze Compot composter all the time.  Plant them around your garden over new seedlings to protect your seedling from slugs and bugs that would normally harm your plants.  This is common when you have plants that don’t like being propagated in little pots and then transplanted into the ground.  You have to plant them directly in the ground, cover them with the Top, and not move them. This is where the Top really comes in handy as there are not too many things on the market that aren’t high enough to accommodate a growing plant.   Plus it is harder to knock over if you are using the stakes to hold it in place.   And it is easy to water your plants through the holes in the top where the gases escape also.

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.

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.
