Or you may live in a unit and have a small courtyard, a small inbuilt garden on a balcony or a designated space in a unit block garden. Make sure you have permission from the body corporate to use a space in the common garden. If it’s in your backyard you can move them around your garden if you want but it is probably not necessary in a small garden. Make sure you cover your Compots with straw or hay or leaves once you have filled them up. This is because in a small area you don’t want to run the risk of any odours invading your space.SKU: CLR2

I love my free grass clippings and leaves all mowed up together. If you don't have grass clippings and leaves you can purchase straw, hay, lucern mulch, pea straw and many other types of cover. If you can afford to buy shredded bamboo, this is an amazing cover for your pots and your garden beds. But it does cost money. Otherwise stick to what is cheap and easy. Just don't cover with dirt or sugar cane mulch if you have a rat problem in your area.
Is there an odour?
There should be no odour that you can smell. The bugs will smell it but you should not. If there is an odour you need to call me so I can work out what needs tweaking in your process. Most likely it is your soil that is the problem and perhaps needs some minor adjustments on how the Compot will work in your kind of soil. Covering your pots will filter any odours (which you can't smell) that might attract house flies. The last thing you want is to be breeding up house flies in your small courtyard. So if you don't have leaves or grass clippings then try hay, lucern mulch, pea straw, or my favourite "shredded bamboo" (which is costly) which allows water into your garden but stops evaporation. And if you have bad soil worms will take the shredded bamboo deep down into the soil at the base of you pot. Thus improving your soil as time goes by.What is a good ground cover?
A good ground cover is leaves, shredded bamboo, and grass clippings if you have any. Otherwise hay, straw, light mulches, pea straw, lucern mulch or anything except dirt and sugar cane mulch. Grass clippings are my favorite because they are the cheapest and provide a great cover for your soil. Just spread the covering all around your garden a couple of inches thick. Not too thick because you want it to break down quickly and not burn any of your plants. Put irrigation pipe below the grass clipping to prevent evaporation and help keep the grass clipping moist for the worms. This also counters the issue of grass matting together and becoming hydrophobic. It will turn into beautiful soil directly on your garden bed with out any hard work involved. And you don't get those little compost flies hanging around the clippings if they are not too thick.

Simply dig a small hole to accommodate the base of the Compot and back fill. Fill with all your kitchen waste. Lock on lid, cover with your desired garden cover and forget. Then refill, when ever you are ready, with more waste. You do not need to wait for everything to disappear. Just keep topping them up till you can't top them up anymore. Allow them to rest for a few weeks now and when full of composted soil simply scoop out the soil and start to refill again. You will know by the look of the soil if they are ready for emptying and refilling.

More About Direct Compost Solutions
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn't suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden.
