This is a solid and well-built unit, especially considering the material it’s made from. It arrived quickly and was securely packaged. It’s more labour-intensive than a traditional cold compost... Ver mais

Prompt delivery, easily assembled and temperature at a good level after one week. Only had it 2.5 weeks so can’t comment on the output yet.

Great purchase.

Bin arrived as stated on the order. Set up in no time, working brilliantly, doing exactly as described. Looking forward now to using the compost for winter vegetables. Think maybe we should have gone for the bigger size - but might just get a second 100 litre bin next spring.

200 L Hotbin working very well

Received the 200 litre Hotbin in mid April, delivered quickly and in good order.

After three months the bin was almost full and I removed the bottom foot of compost. The very bottom layer was slightly damp and had lots of twigs in it from the initial set-up, as per instructions. The next layer to the top of the open door was nicely friable. Overall a great result. I used this first batch as top dressing. The layer above seems very dry and crumbly.

I got into a routine of adding a new layer once the temperature had started to fall, mixing this new layer with some of the layer below to spread the heat. Works well for me. When half full the bin did go cold when I was away for a few days, but the hot water bottle did the trick very quickly.

Highly delighted.

Excellent

Very pleased with my new Hotbin, I t took a while to get up to temperature, so I used the hot water container. I checked it the following day and the temperature was spot on. I can now compost all my kitchen waste along with my garden waste.
I’m glad I purchased it.

Impressive!

Just want to say how impressed I am with my Hotbin composter. I’ve had it coming up to 3 months, am getting about 100/150ml of liquid feed from it a day(!) if not more, plus I’m about to harvest my first batch of compost. Well worth the little amount of effort I think!

You'll struggle to get it working in the winter

I left a review for this product on 16 January and said I would update it once I had given it more time. It has now got up to temperature but it has taken a long time. It doesn't work for egg shells and even long grass, removed after no mow May, is not breaking down. The compost I have used took 6 months and where I put it, effectively as a mulch around new plants, was attracting flies. You can tell that I remain to be convinced, for example the wood chip I put in came out as wood chip. Removing the compost is also quite messy. There's no real alternative but to use your hands. The liquid constantly pours out and whilst I found a little china pot that fits under to collect it, it quickly fills and so if away it overflows. For all of these reasons I think the reviews are too uncritical given the price point. I was expecting more. I would certainly not recommend buying it in the winter as it took months to get it going.

Thank you for your review, we hope to address some of the points below which you may find helpful.

In regard to eggshells, they are a natural source of calcium which although difficult to digest by bacteria in a cold compost heap, is susceptible to heat. This exposure to heat causes the shell to soften and weather resulting in it becoming brittle.
If adding eggshells into the HOTBIN it is recommended that they are crushed into smaller pieces and when exposed to temperatures of 40-60°c the heat will cause the pieces to become brittle. It is not uncommon when harvesting a batch of compost to see small bits of shell – brittle in nature these will soon break down releasing beneficial calcium into the soil.

Grass is great for a heat boost in the HOTBIN but as with any waste we recommend chopping it up to increases the surface area available to bacteria inside the bin which speeds up decomposition. It might be worth lightly chopping this up with some shears.

Your feedback suggests that your first harvest was 6 months after starting the bin – if so, this is your initial base layer and as such may need additional processing. This is perfectly normal, as this is the material used to generate the heat in the HOTBIN and so wont have been subjected to the same high temperatures as the material above. The base of the heap will always tend to be the coolest zone especially during the winter because cold air is drawn in through the base plate. The hottest and most active layers are the mid and top zones where breakdown and composting occurs the quickest. So even if the top layer is running at 60°C, the very bottom of the heap will be cooler.

Removing compost can be tricky sometimes depending on the contents – one trick to try is, as you are facing the material in the base, remove the central part of compost first ‘core’ and then remove the material on either side, one side at a time. Inevitably some material may fall down from above due to the weight.

Finally in regards to liquid, if you are experiencing a lot of liquid constantly coming from the HOTBIN it suggests that the contents are too wet – this could be due to the grass so we would recommend mixing in some paper and woody material to control moisture and help aerate the heap.

If you need any further help or advice please do get in touch with our support team.

Foxes ate my Hotbins

I own and use 2 Hotbin Composters on my allotment. Foxes had chewed and destroyed the inner inserts on the top of both Hotbins in order to eat the red fireworms inside. I ordered 2 replacements from Hotbin. Delivery was swift. Both Hotbins are back up and running hot. This time I have placed old dustbin lids on top. So far, this has defeated the Foxes.

The hotbin is working like a dream

The hotbin is working like a dream. It has made an immediate difference to the waste disposal problems of an average family house in hot weather and produces rich compost and an even richer liquid manure which the vegetables love .

Easy ordering delivery and set up

Easy ordering delivery and set up. Seems to be working and has reached desired temperature several times but needs to be kept stoked to sustain the process. 4 weeks in and we have some liquid feed. The bin is some way away from filling up so I am planning more garden waste twice a week. Pleased with this purchase.
