When does Composter THERMOQUICK® EXPRESS 800 make the most sense?

It makes the most sense for hot composting of mixed waste outdoors on a soil base, including through winter. The bin handles garden and household waste such as food scraps, cut grass in summer and leaves in autumn. The air vent in the lid is kept open in summer, half-closed in spring and autumn and closed in winter.

Correct handling gives the best results:

• Add 10-15 cm of soil at the bottom.
• Turn the contents each time waste is added.
• Cut branches into pieces of about 10 cm.
• Compost litter absorbs excess liquid if the compost gets too wet and smells.
• If the compost is too dry, water it lightly or leave the bin open when it rains.

Is Composter THERMOQUICK® EXPRESS 800 suited to house gardens and kitchen gardens?
