How to use

To begin using the Flo 35623, select a flat, well-drained area of soil in your garden to allow direct contact with earthworms and microorganisms. Assemble the unit according to the provided instructions, ensuring all panels are securely locked. Start by placing a layer of coarse twigs at the bottom to improve drainage and aeration. Add your organic waste in layers, alternating between green materials like grass and kitchen scraps, and brown materials like dry leaves or straw. Keep the contents slightly moist but not waterlogged to maintain the ideal environment for decomposition.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have enough space in your garden for the 480-liter footprint
• Check that the chosen location has easy access for adding waste and removing finished compost
• Consider the proximity to your kitchen for convenient disposal of organic scraps

Usage recommendations

For the best results, turn the compost pile occasionally to introduce oxygen, which speeds up the decomposition process. Avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily foods to prevent odors and pests.
