More info:
This hot garden Aerobin works best when at least half full and waste should be premixed before its loaded into the bin to avoid any concentrations of individual matter. Ensure any woody material is shredded or mulched before adding to allow for quicker breakdown. If you want to get the composting process underway quickly, add a layer (about 5cm) of non-sterilised compost to the base of the bin.

Problem solving:
Problem: Too wet
Compost not heating up
Bad smell
Not decomposing well
Solution:
Take out the material and add back in with layers of dry, brown material (leaves, sawdust, wood shavings).Â
Newspaper (if scrunched up/shredded) counts as brown material and will help.Â
If larger leaves and garden material not decomposing, shred into smaller pieces.
Problem: Too dry
Not decomposing
Solution:
Take out the material and start the process again. Take care to layer, dry brown materials between wet, green materials (grass, kitchen scraps, other plant material).
If compost is too dry, it becomes water repellent and is difficult to re-wet.Â
Avoid putting dry materials in hot composter bin, unless mixed or moistened with wet, green materials.
Problem: Insects
Garden composter bin attracting insects
Solution:
It is normal to have flies and small insects in and around the hot garden composter bin. They are a natural part of decomposition.Â
If these insects are annoying, cover with shredded paper, grass clippings, or use a pyrethrum spray.
