Eco Hive Composter

Making your own compost at home is now a massive and environmentally beneficial garden trend, but compost bins can be unattractive even if useful and desirable. The Eco Hive Composter not only has some super functional advantages, but it is also an attractive addition to any garden (with a 28mm x 28mm frame). Shaped like a traditional beehive and made from sustainable slow grown soft wood from responsibly managed forests, this product is a winner from the start. The large 405 litre capacity and an open base (.75mm x .82mm) that helps to produce internal heat which makes compost faster, ensures this is a really practical purchase. The lid opens on either side and folds back on itself for easy removal in order to churn the compost and allowing gardeners to easily harvest the compost from the lower hatch (500m x 270mm). Narrow gaps in the side panels allows air to circulate in the composter whilst keeping the rain out. The angled ‘cant cut’ timber boards (90mm x 20mm) keeps the waste inside hidden and out of sight as well as having a more modern aesthetic and aids ventilation. The timber lid and side panels help to manage the temperature and moisture content, retaining the heat and ventilating the compost– which is needed in order to speed up decomposition. The open base allows micro-organisms, worms and slugs from the ground to get into the waste heap and help to break it down into top quality compost. Features Popular beehive design Dual opening lid which is also easy to remove for compost cultivation Narrow gaps in the side panels to aid air flow Angled cut 'cant boards' to aid ventilation Specification 0.75m wide x 0.82m deep x 0.96m high Weight 40kg 2 person assembly Care & maintenance As an easy care product made from pressure treated wood that protects against rot there is no need to apply any treatment within the first 6 months of receipt. Doing so will invalidate the warranty, as this will not allow enough time for excess moisture from the pressure treatment to dry out. However, after this period you may apply annual treatment to prolong the life and look of the product. This comes direct from the supplier.
