Starter Kit #1 | 5L Compost Bin

How many propagators do I need?

You can fit about 8 toilet rolls inside the upturned lid of a Compot.   Hence 8 plants can be grown.   Technically one seed per toilet roll unless you are growing something like purslane whose seeds are super tiny.   Although you can grow more if you spread the seeds over the soil in the upturned lid. Depends what you are trying to grow.   Therefore the quantity you might need depends on how many plants you are trying to grow and how often. If growing wheatgrass you can put half a cup to a full cup of wheat in the upturned lid.  One top for one person to grow and juice wheatgrass can be enough though you may need two tops when juicing for two people to keep up a good rotation schedule.   But if you want to grow large quantities of herbs or veggies one top may not be enough.

Great for new gardeners

The Clever Compost Bins are great if you are new to gardening and composting.  Plus you don't have to spend oodles of money on propagating equipment only to find out it's not your forte.   Hence you can have some fun and dabble in propagating to see if it's something you want to do.   Three pots and a top allows you to propagate on top of one Compot while rotating filling the other two Compots.  This way you don’t have to keep removing the lid that you are using to propagate to fill the pot below with waste. But if you want to you can use the Lift Pin to easily lift up the lid and fill up your Compot.   I often leave the pin in the lid so it is there ready for me when I go to top up the Compot.   Just be sure you don't do this if you plant your pots somewhere you are going to mow over them.  The mower will not like that metal Lift Pin.  lol Articles coming soon What can I put in my Compots with my dog waste (coming soon) What if my dogs want to dig it up (coming soon) Black Soldier Flies and Animal Waste (coming soon) Composting in winter Propagating wheatgrass propagating seeds Shop eco-eze Compots Now
