Stickers on the hatch clearly explain what kind of waste can enter the drum and how to use the composter

  • This patented storage container collects the highly nutrient-rich leakage liquid released during composting and can then be connected directly to a garden hose to feed the plants (1L of fertiliser to 40L of water).
  • Once the composting process is completed, the drum can be easily removed from the ground and rolled to its destination where the compost can be distributed in the garden or mixed with the soil.
