HOTBIN Mk.2 Composter and Accessories | Tool Shed | Thompson & Morgan

The Hotbin Mk. 2 is the second generation of this revolutionary aerobic composting system, producing usable compost in just 30-90 days – that’s 32 times faster than a traditional compost bin. (The length of time can vary on quality and quantity of waste and the outside temperature)The innovative Hotbin technology allows this composter to reach temperatures of 40-60C even in winter, so it can cope with an even wider variety of waste including vegetable peelings, grass cuttings, leaves, cooked meat and even small bones! As bacteria break down the waste, they produce heat which is retained in the insulated unit, creating the perfect conditions for producing an infinite amount of crumbly compost.

The high temperatures kill off any fly larvae, weed seed and pathogens so you can be sure that your compost is clean and ready to use, without the risk of spreading pests and diseases about your garden. There are several clever features that make this bin so popular. It is designed as a sealed unit, with a built-in bio-filter within the lid which reduces any unpleasant odours associated with the composting process.

The large hatch panel allows for easy compost removal. Better still, a leachate collecting system allows you to make your own compost tea with a handy tap for easy collection – perfect for feeding your plants with nutrient rich, 100% natural fertiliser. Designed and produced in the UK, this award winning product is proving a real hit with gardeners for its streamlined design, large capacity of 200 litres, and incredibly speedy compost production.

This clever composter is perfect for households of 3-5 people producing a minimum of 5kg of waste per week.Hotbin Composters are made from 100% recyclable expanded polypropylene and come with a reassuring 3 year guarantee.
