Pick up an armload of plants to be composted and set it on the board with the long stems going in the same direction as the board. Alternating thin layers of greens and browns are laid down until the compost heap is 1 metre (3 foot) square and a bit taller than that. Some systems recommend turning your compost heap every day or two (see the Berkeley method below), but even turning it once or twice will help speed up the composting process.
At temperatures over 65 °C (149 °F), a white “mould” spreads through the compost, which is actually some kind of anaerobic thermophilic composting bacteria, often incorrectly referred to as ‘fire blight’. There are also plenty of grip points to rotate the drum with relative ease, although once the tumbler is around two-thirds full, this becomes quite hard to do due to the weight. Both adding and emptying waste is straightforward, as the hatch is large and opens and locks smoothly with a chunky knob.There are many organic materials that can be composted, and there are also certain ingredients that should never be put into a compost bin. We recommend an approximate dose of 135 grams of Compost Activator per square meter of compost material.

This was a 30cm long, pencil thick cutting of a White Adriatic fig taken in winter and placed in a 15cm wide plastic pot filled with potting mix. In turn, this will hasten the composting process, shortening wait times and enabling you to use compost much sooner.Finally, I put all the unrotted materials I had to move to get started back on the heap ready to start the process again. Hot composting is a fast aerobic process (uses oxygen), so given volume of compost materials produce almost the same volume of finished compost.
This weather-resistant garden composter bin helps to hasten the decomposition of organic matter and prepare fertiliser on your own. Thanks to its plastic cover, it produces the highest internal temperature of any of the wooden bins on test, guaranteeing fantastic compost.
