You can also buy this products from the internet, but i dont sell it yet. May be in the future. For enquiries please reply. The bin should be placed directly on to soil to allow drainage, away from the house and in a part of the garden.

How do I get started?
Composting is easy.
1. Choose what type for bin you want to use
2. Layer the bottom with coarse materials (compose of carbon and nitrogen source of waste). Recommended : newspaper, wood and any waste from goats and cows mix together)
3. Water each layer to ensure that materials are moist.
4. Keep each layer 1-2 cm thick and use a variety of materials in each layer.
6. Turn every week.
After a few weeks the finished compost should be dark and ready to put into the garden. Mature compost can be used as fertiliser for your garden and lawn, for growing seedlings, as potting mix.
