Compost Bin Home It Green it® 567 L, green, model 91231

The Compost Bin Home It Green it® 567 L, green, model 91231 is a large-capacity outdoor composter designed for domestic gardens and small allotments. With a 567‑liter volume and a fitted lid, this unit collects kitchen scraps and garden waste in one stable container to support seasonal composting. Its construction is intended for outdoor placement and to reduce pest access and odors while enabling gradual aerobic decomposition of organic material.

Advantages

This compost bin offers a spacious container that accommodates bulky garden trimmings and accumulated kitchen waste over a season, reducing the need for frequent emptying. The fitted lid limits pest activity and helps contain odours. The design provides stable placement on typical garden surfaces and supports natural aerobic breakdown when combined with routine turning and layering of materials. Its green colour integrates with outdoor surroundings.

How to use

Place the compost bin on a level area with partial ground contact to permit drainage and access for soil organisms. Start with a layer of coarse material such as small twigs or straw to aid airflow, then add alternating layers of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials. Close the lid to deter pests and minimise odours. Periodically aerate the contents by turning or mixing to maintain oxygen flow and promote decomposition. Monitor moisture; material should be damp but not waterlogged. Remove finished compost from the bottom or by opening the container when the material is dark, crumbly and earthy in smell.

Usage recommendations

To accelerate decomposition, chop large items into smaller pieces and maintain a balance of green and brown materials. Avoid adding meat, dairy, oils, diseased plants, or persistent weeds. Position the bin in a shaded or semi-shaded spot to keep temperatures stable and check periodically for excessive moisture after heavy rain.
