5L Compost Bin x 6

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.
