How to use

To use the Flo composter, place it on a level, well-drained surface, preferably directly on soil to allow beneficial organisms to enter the pile. Start by adding a base layer of coarse materials like twigs to ensure proper drainage and airflow. Gradually add layers of green waste, such as grass clippings, and brown waste, such as dry leaves or straw, to maintain a balanced carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. Keep the contents slightly moist and turn the material occasionally to speed up the decomposition process.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have sufficient space in your garden for the 1000-liter footprint
• Check that the chosen location has easy access for adding waste and removing finished compost
• Consider the volume of organic waste your household typically generates

Usage recommendations

For the best results, maintain a diverse mix of organic materials and ensure the compost pile remains aerated. Avoid adding invasive weeds or plants treated with chemical pesticides to ensure the final compost is safe for your garden soil.
