5L Compost Bin x 2

Are You a Vegetarian? Consider Using Multiple 5L Compost Bins!

If you're a vegetarian, a single 5L compost bin may not be enough, even for one person, as vegetarian diets often produce more food waste compared to those who tend to eat more processed food. Although fruit and vegetable scraps decompose quickly (generally within one to two weeks), this timeline may still feel slow for those with high composting needs. Using two 5L compost bins provides a helpful rotation system: while one bin rests, you can keep adding scraps to the second. Or, expand to three bins by positioning one above ground. Watch our video on setting up your Eco-Eze composter above ground for rapid, efficient composting. Or, you could experiment with creating a dual composting system: breed worms in one 5L compost bin and raise Soldier Flies in the other. But be mindful—fresh food scraps can attract garden pests. Using a 5L compost bin in raised garden beds can work well for worm-friendly scraps. If your pots are in the ground and you notice critters like rats or possums attempting to access your compost, you will need to follow my instructions to ferment your scraps to deter them effectively.
