Direct Compost Solutions

I purchased two of these compost bins, put them into my flower gardens, started putting all of my scraps into one first and then the other. So now I just rotate using them. I am very glad I purchased two, as it’s working very well for me. There is no horrible smell and they are simplicity to use. Ive had other compost systems in the past. All have been very much more expensive, smelly and more complicated to use. These are by far the easiest . My council waste bin is hardly worth putting out now, it’s almost empty, so very good for the landfill problem....I recently had a question about a particular thing so I rang Vicki to make sure I was doing the right thing, and she assured me it was all working perfectly . She was a delight to talk to and couldn’t be more helpful. . I’m so happy I came across these at the Brisbane show and would highly recommend them to anyone, which I do constantly.Kay

This is such an easy to use composting system! Once installed you just keep topping it up - there's no maintenance, its tucked away in our garden, no smell and it takes care of so much of our organic waste. Highly recommend if you want a really simple way to compost.

Very effective and by far the most simplest way to compost every perishable item one can think of.

I knew about Vicki's compot system about 2 years ago. At first, I was wondering how it works and whether it is a fast and effective composting system. Vicki was very helpful in explaining how it works and offered lots of tips to set up different ways to use the compot.I have a worm farm, bokashi bins and also a big compost bin. In my honest opinion, I like Vicki's compost system most because I can see organic scraps got broken down so quickly. The lid with little wholes on top are excellent for air in to prevent the space inside the compot from becoming anaerobic. It also allows black soldier flies to lay their eggs. These beautiful insects unlike the annoying house flies, they don't bite, they don't want to live in the house and they breakdown foods 10 times faster than worms. I like worms as well but black Soldier fliers can eat anything. I compost all food waste including meat, bread, dairy, oily foods, chips....I just soak these foods in kitchen waste water (recycle waste water) to remove any salt from the foods before I put them into the compot. The black solder flies just eat them so quickly. I noticed that as I have an above ground compot set up, little birds have visited my garden to eat soldier flies larvae. So they nourish my garden with their poop, they have foods and they also eat caterpillars (I hope so). It is just nice to be able to offer them good foods as these soldier flies are great source of protein for them.The tight lid also stop any rats to try to get inside the pot. I don't have issue with rats as I followed Vicki's advice. After soaking scraps in kitchen waste water, they are lightly fermented and I don't think rats like pickled food scraps. Also I do not have to turn a big compost bin which is not easy for me or anyone with wrist or back issues. Talk to Vicki as she has lots of ways to help you set up a successful system to use brown wastes (leaves, papers, junk mails, carboards) and food scraps.I have saved so much food waste from council bins using her system. I plan to register to collect more food waste from other people to put in the compots.Vicki is very lovely and helpful. I like the fact that she did not try to sell me her products but rather provide information on how it works and it is up to me to give it a go. Reducing waste from landfill is my passion, so after learning about the products, I decided to buy 4 compots. I kept a little log book and just noticed I composted so much food in just a short amount of time. I am going to buy more compots to set up in different places in my garden to be able to compost more organic waste from other people. I will use the decomposed organic matter to grow a garden in my front yard to inspire people to grow their own foods. Maybe a little side note that this garden was created from foods waste people donated :).Thanks Vicki for such great products and for your great service.

Fabulous product and fantastic service from Vicki, thank you! I received my two different orders so quickly, with a confirmation phone-call both times to ensure I was receiving the most economical delivery. The pots themselves have been in-ground since 18/12/18. Three of my 5 pots have BSF larvae so far, and today I see the larvae digging out through the side holes towards pupation. As somebody who doesn't much like interacting with wriggly things, the BSF has a fascinating life-cycle and it's brilliantly harnessed in this product, making it SO easy to compost organic waste. Every garden should have some! Thanks Vicki.

Install once and just top it like any dustbin. A dustbin that handles any waste that will rot. The plants then help themselves to available nutrients and the organic mattee will be reduced in time. Simple, straight forward and self maintaining.
