Composter Prosperplast IKEV850C-S411 850 L Black

The Prosperplast IKEV850C-S411 composter offers an 850 L capacity for home and garden organic waste processing. Designed in black with compact external dimensions (900 mm width, 910 mm depth, 1345 mm height), this outdoor composter provides a practical solution for transforming kitchen scraps, grass clippings and garden residues into usable compost. Constructed for straightforward placement in beds, allotments or near sheds, it supports gradual breakdown of organic matter while conserving space.

Advantages

The composter's large 850 L volume allows extended accumulation of organic material before emptying, reducing the frequency of maintenance. Its durable plastic construction resists weathering, is lightweight for easier handling during installation, and the enclosed design helps retain heat and moisture to accelerate decomposition. The neutral black colour integrates unobtrusively into most garden environments.

How to use

Place the composter on a level, well-drained spot with some soil contact to allow beneficial organisms to access the contents. Alternate layers of green (kitchen scraps, grass clippings) and brown materials (dry leaves, shredded paper) to maintain an appropriate carbon-to-nitrogen balance. Periodically turn or mix the contents to aerate and promote decomposition, and avoid adding large quantities of meat, dairy or oily food. Monitor moisture—contents should be damp but not waterlogged—and open the access if you need to remove finished compost from the bottom or side hatch.

Usage recommendations

For faster composting, chop or shred larger materials before adding, maintain a balanced mix of greens and browns, and occasionally turn the pile. Protect from excessive rain or prolonged dryness if needed and keep the lid closed to deter pests.
