FAQs

How long does it take to get compost?

Depending on the materials and conditions, finished compost can be ready in 6-12 months.

What kind of wood is used?

The composter is made from British Redwood.

What is the warranty?

The composter has a 15-year guarantee against rot and decay.

Do I need to treat the wood?

No, the wood is pre-treated with a water-based wood preserving treatment for a 15-year guarantee.

Can I put meat and dairy in the composter?

It is not recommended to put meat and dairy products in the composter, as they can attract pests and cause odors.

What are the dimensions?

The dimensions are: Width: 2930mm, Depth: 1040mm, Height: 760mm.

What if the wood warps?

Warping, twisting, and shrinkage may occur, but this is a natural phenomenon and should not affect the product's use or operation and is not covered under the guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Compost smells bad.

The compost is likely too wet or lacks air. Turn the compost to aerate it and add more 'brown' materials.

Compost is not breaking down.

The compost may be too dry, or it may need more nitrogen. Add water or more 'green' materials like grass clippings or food scraps.

The wood has mould.

Mould may appear if the timber is wet upon arrival, but it will disappear as it dries. This will not affect the operation or warranty.
