DuPont™ PLANTEX^® COMPOST BIN

EASY INSTALLATION

The Compost Bin is folded flat in its packaging. To expand the bin simply undo the toggles and allow the coils to unwind. Empty organic waste material into the compost bin and place the lid on top – fasten with the lid fasteners to keep the lid closed.

LOCATION

The bin should be placed on open soil. Because of the unique breathable structure, odours will not build up. The Compost Bin can be installed close to the house.

TIPS

To restack the material or to use the finished compost simply lift the lid. Sieve through the composted material before using it and place all the larger, uncomposted material back into the bin. REMEMBER to replace lid.

3 PREREQUISITES REQUIRED FOR OPTIMUM COMPOSTING

1.		AIR : The mass to be composted should always be in contact with the air, or oxygen. A re-stacking of the compost from time to time is recommended.
2.		MOISTURE : Micro organisms develop best in a slightly moist environment. Too much moisture or a too dry compost mass affects the rotting process. The compost mass should be as moist as a squeezed sponge.
3.		NUTRITION : The material to be composted should always be well mixed and cut or chopped as small as possible. That improves the supply of oxygen and reduces composting time.
		WHAT CAN BE COMPOSTED? Nitrogen-rich organic waste: fresh plant waste, like garden greenery, lawn cuttings, fresh leaves, fruit and vegetable remains, vegetable kitchen waste, potato skins, coffee grounds, teabags, fresh horse manure... Carbon-rich organic waste: already dried vegetable material, such as straw, dry grass, dried autumn leaves, sawdust or wood shavings. This waste helps with ventilating the compost mass. Fresh lawn cuttings and certain fresh autumn leaves on their own are too moist and too impermeable to air, and should therefore be mixed with shredded wood waste or dry leaves or bark. Egg shells should be well crushed.
