Recycled Compots x 5 | 5L Compost Bin

And once you have them in place you might like to add ALL your kitchen waste as well and nourish your garden without the hard work of composting.  Consider where you place the Black Compots as they are slightly weaker plastic and could potentially break if you stand on the lid.  The little tabs on the side of the lid can break.  I personally would go for the green ones because they don't break if you stand on them.  but it is up to you which one you choose. The new material makes them very similar in strength.

Can the Recycled Easy Compost Bins be recycled?

They can be recycled once they start to fall apart but they can only be recycled a certain number of times as they get softer each time and eventually become unusable.  With care they could last up to ten years or more.    Some people believe recycled plastic is the better way to go.  And in many instances it is.  But with the Compot recycled is not always the best option as they could potentially break.  And if the material is not clean but instead "Kerbside Waste" then it could potentially leach chemicals into the soil.  However the current material beings used should not leach chemicals into the soil. If you are using them in a raised garden bed and not likely to stand or sit on them, then the recycled pots are the way to go.   It is a personal choice and up to you in the end.

How many do I need?

As a general rule of thumb, I suggest one Compot per person and one for the garden.   Add one or two more if you have pets depending on whether you have a small or large animal and a small or large amount of animal waste. Add an extra one per person if you are vegetarian.  Because, even though your waste will disappear in one to two weeks if it is full of vegan waste, I have found that vegetarians eat twice as much food as non-vegetarians so they need more space.   And they also eat less processed food, so again need more space. I always say to start with a minimum amount and see how you go.  Then get more if you need more.  And if you use the "Above Ground Method" to compost some of your waste, you will find you may not need more, as the above ground method is super fast and works like having two in the garden so you get twice the space with just one pot.

How long should I let dog waste rest before using?

It is preferable to let the animal waste decomposed properly before you spread it around your garden.   This means letting one sit unattended for 4 to 6 weeks. It could be more depending on your soil type.   You will know when it is ready because the of the way it looks and smells.   Fantastic soil with that gorgeous fresh compost smell. It is still smells like animal waste then you need to let it rest for longer, and may need to add some water to speed up the process.   Having enough Compots allows you to let one rest for an appropriate amount of time while you rotate filling the other ones.   I recommend the Black Recycled Pots for using above ground system where you are never likely to stand on them.
