Earthmaker is a three chamber bin that allows a constant input of organic material in the top chamber and provides a continuous source of compost from the bottom. This novel concept makes it possible to process significantly greater quantities of kitchen and garden waste at faster rates than ordinary single chamber composters. The ingenious design features a removable floor to the top chamber that allows material to be moved from the top to the middle chamber without effort. Material is mixed and aerated in the process.

After your Earthmaker has been assembled the top chamber can be filled with vegetable scraps and garden waste. The mixture will heat up and compact down over a few days. Kitchen waste can continue to be added on a daily basis and garden waste whenever the lawns are mowed or the garden is weeded.

Then, every month or so, the pull-out panel in the floor of the top chamber is removed allowing the material to tumble into the middle chamber. After the panel has been replaced, the top chamber continues to be filled as before. Over the next few weeks the material in the middle chamber will gradually decompose further and begin to spill down the sloping shelf into the bottom chamber. Before emptying the top chamber again, it is necessary to check the middle chamber is clear and perhaps use the tool provided to push the mulch into the bottom chamber.

After a further month, the compost in this lowest chamber should have reached a suitable maturation point to enable it to be removed and used on the garden.

Earthmaker requires very little attention. Once a month the contents can be quickly moved down from chamber to chamber. It will take a minimum of 12 weeks before mature compost can be removed from the Earthmaker, depending on the season and the climate, but once established the continuous cycle process enables an Earthmaker to provide 20 - 30 litres of excellent compost every month.

26 week trial of Earthmaker versus traditional compost bins was conducted by the sustainable waste management team at HDRA, Ryton. They concluded:

The Earthmaker is easy to assemble and use
Produces compost faster than traditional bins
Produces over twice as much ready-to-use compost as traditional bins over the same period
Easy to empty.

No tools are required for assembly nor compost experience needed to get started. Every Earthmaker comes with a detailed user guide. Assembly instructions come with product.

Delivery included to mainland UK addresses.
