Composting will contribute to your household reducing the amount of waste that goes to either landfill or incineration, this assists our planets environment. Composting helps people live in a more sustainable way. Now includes a Leachate Hose Extension Kit which makes extracting liquid fertiliser (leachate) for your garden plants much easier.     This composter comes in two boxes, one box for the main component and the second which holds the central aeration lung (flue). This lung assists the quick breakdown of food and garden waste. Two people are needed to construct the Aerobin. Instructions for assembly. More details about the Aerobin: Dimensions Height: 117.5cm Width: 51cm Depth: 51cm Packaging Dimensions Height: 15.9cm Width: 54cm Depth: 49cm Weight: 15.9kg The Aerobin was developed & designed to enable the recycling (composting) and reuse of most organic materials that are generated at the household. This provides a practical alternative to these materials being collected, transported and dumped at landfill sites or incinerated. In the natural process of aerobic (or hot) composting, the work is performed by healthy decomposer microorganisms. These organisms are a living thing that require food (carbon & nitrogen), air and water. When they have the correct balance, compost is produced very quickly in this Aerobin. The Aerobin is vermin resistant. To get the composting process underway quickly, it is best to add a layer (50mm or 2”) of compost in the base of the Aerobin. This can be either healthy compost from another composter or compost purchased from a garden centre, just ensure that it's not sterilised. Waste should be premixed before it is loaded into the Aerobin. This will avoid concentrations of any individual material. Compost should start to form on the base of the Aerobin (remove the Access Doors) from 8-12 weeks of starting. This compost bin has a base and a Leachate Tank to collect rich liquid nutrients in.  You can purchase a seperate leachate hose extension here. Rich Leachate should start collecting in the Leachate Tank of the Aerobin within 4-6 weeks. Don't forget to dilute Leachate before use. The product is fantastic for garden waste and works best when at least half-filled. Do ensure that woody material is shredded or mulched before adding. Glossy ink printed magazines or cardboard are not suitable for the Aerobin as the inks are mostly likely not biodegradable and can be toxic. Has a moisture recirculation system, which means you can just drop your food/garden waste in and let the Aerobin get to work! Manufactured from 100% virgin polymer.

This was quick and easy to put together. Bought this in time for last but one garden tidy of the year so we had a good mix of green and brown, with grass, leaves and food waste. We've kept a bon of leaves to help with layering and balancing contents. The bin is right by our kitchen door and there is no smell. We're about 4 weeks in now and the levels are dropping inside and we bought a separate thermometer to check things were still OK. We fed it with food waste a couple of times a week and top up with leaves. So far so good!

Excellent product, it's very well made, but you do need to understand the instructions and which panel is which and then it's easy to assemble. I was able to fill it to about 60% with semi composted and new material and it appears to be warming up OK, and that's after only a week. The only downside was the delay in shipping, I ordered it and didn't notice it was out of stock.

I'm really happy with the composter and have put it to use already. It's made of sturdy material and looks great at the end of the garden.

The container is well made and easy to assemble. The tap for the hose is difficult to use, especially as it is positioned under the container. Don't yet know if the composter works as I only recently purchased it. I would be happy to do another revue after I have had it for about a year.

A well made product with what looks to be a robust external shell.
