Easy Recycled Compost Bins are great for a single person or anyone with a small garden, a small pet or produces a small amount of waste. Or you may live in a unit and have a small courtyard, a small inbuilt garden on a balcony or a designated space in a unit block garden. Make sure you have permission from the body corporate to use a space in the common garden.

If it’s in your backyard you can move them around your garden if you want but it is probably not necessary in a small garden. Make sure you cover your Compots with straw or hay or leaves once you have filled them up. This is because in a small area you don’t want to run the risk of any odours invading your space.

There is no product information on recycled plastic as it comes from many different sources and is generally referred to as “Kerbside Waste”    The manufacturing process used to produce this product can only use recycled kerbside plastic or factory offcuts.  Other recycled plastic materials used in many recycled products are not suitable for the process required to produce the Compot.

All care is taken to produce a quality product that will work for you all day every day giving you many years of satisfaction, as well as naturally fertilizing your garden, reducing council waste and therefore reducing greenhouse methane gas emissions.

Please see our returns and refunds policy if you are not satisfied with your purchase but please call us first.    It is very rare for the Compot not to work and you might just need a little extra information.
Or check out our FAQs and Tips and Tricks page.

POSTAGE COSTS:

To post one Compot cost the same as three Compots (unless you live in Brisbane where the rates are generally less than most other areas) so consider the postage costs when you order to get the best value out of your post.

After 3 Compots it costs roughly the same to post up to 14 Compots depending on where you live.   You can test different bundles for postage costs by entering your suburb details and requesting a quote.   Just don’t follow through with the order.   Try another bundle to compare postage costs, and then make your choice on the bundle you want.   Or call us if you can’t work this out.

The updated website and shopping cart should automatically calculate any variations of products you add to your order and offer you the three cheapest options (one with signature required) so you can choose which option you prefer, be it courier or Australia Post.  However, if this does not appear to happen then please call us (0467 006 529 / (07) 3358 3716) for a correct quote or continue to payment options.  We will refund you any postage charges over and above what the real cost is when we calculate and book your order if it is more than $25.00.   Otherwise I put some garden supplements or seeds in your order to compensate for any difference in the post.  So don’t be put off by the post.

If for any reason you feel the postage to your area is excessive (and sometimes it is too remote areas) please email us  so we can work something out for you.  The updated website will now give you Australia Post and courier costs, but this still may be excessive.   So, contact us to see how we can help.

I love my free grass clippings and leaves all mowed up together. If you don’t have grass clippings and leaves you can purchase straw, hay, lucern mulch, pea straw and many other types of cover. If you can afford to buy shredded bamboo, this is an amazing cover for your pots and your garden beds.  But it does cost money. Otherwise stick to what is cheap and easy. Just don’t cover with dirt or sugar cane mulch if you have a rat problem in your area.

Is there an odour?

There should be no odour that you can smell.  The bugs will smell it but you should not. If there is an odour you need to call me so I can work out what needs tweaking in your process. Most likely it is your soil that is the problem and perhaps needs some minor adjustments on how the Compot will work in your kind of soil. Covering your pots will filter any odours (which you can’t smell) that might attract house flies. The last thing you want is to be breeding up house flies in your small courtyard. So if you don’t have leaves or grass clippings then try hay, lucern mulch, pea straw, or my favourite “shredded bamboo” (which is costly) which allows water into your garden but stops evaporation. And if you have bad soil worms will take the shredded bamboo deep down into the soil at the base of you pot. Thus improving your soil as time goes by.

What is a good ground cover?

A good ground cover is leaves, shredded bamboo, and grass clippings if you have any. Otherwise hay, straw, light mulches, pea straw, lucern mulch or anything except dirt and sugar cane mulch. Grass clippings are my favorite because they are the cheapest and provide a great cover for your soil. Just spread the covering all around your garden a couple of inches thick. Not too thick because you want it to break down quickly and not burn any of your plants. Put irrigation pipe below the grass clipping to prevent evaporation and help keep the grass clipping moist for the worms. This also counters the issue of grass matting together and becoming hydrophobic. It will turn into beautiful soil directly on your garden bed with out any hard work involved. And you don’t get those little compost flies hanging around the clippings if they are not too thick. To read in-depth details about how to use a Compot click here Green Compot x 1 

How to install Easy Recycled Compost Bins

Simply dig a small hole to accommodate the base of the Compot and back fill. Fill with all your kitchen waste. Lock on lid, cover with your desired garden cover and forget. Then refill, when ever you are ready, with more waste. You do not need to wait for everything to disappear. Just keep topping them up till you can’t top them up anymore. Allow them to rest for a few weeks now and when full of composted soil simply scoop out the soil and start to refill again. You will know by the look of the soil if they are ready for emptying and refilling.

The current manufacturer I use produces the recycled Compots with off cuts from the factory floor and a portion of virgin plastic to allow the product to hold together and produce a quality product.   Previously, the quality was not as good so I would not guarantee the Black Compots.  But now I will guarantee the Black Compots for the same period as the green ones (2 years).   They will still be slightly weaker than the green ones so ideally avoid standing on them if you can.  They are excellent for use in the Above Ground Method or any raised garden bed where you are not likely to walk on the pots and will work just the same as the green ones.

In the past the Recycled Compots have been made from a mixture of plastic (called Kerbside Plastic) which could potentially leach chemicals into the soil all depending on what the plastic was used for before it was recycled. These older products are not currently produced but may be used if there is not enough off cuts from the factory floor.  The manufacturing process used to produce this product can only use recycled kerbside plastic or factory offcuts or virgin material.  Other recycled plastic materials used in many recycled products are not suitable for the process required to produce the Compot.

The Black Recycled Compots are not as strong as the green virgin plastic Compots.  As  mentioned you can break the tabs on the lid if you stand on them but they are much stronger than previous stock and should last as long as the virgin green ones.  Both can easily be recycled at a time when they finally fall apart.

I now guarantee the Black Recycled Compots and the potential of chemicals leaching into the soil is limited and depends on where the recycled plastic comes from.  If a large quantity of “Kerbside Plastic” is used there is the potential of chemicals leaching into the soil. So it all depends on what the manufacturer uses in his factory.  Just for you information – it is impossible to know if the recycled plastic was made from plastic containers which previously held poisonous material.  Testing each batch of recycled plastic is not likely to happen due to the cost involved in the testing process.

However I can guarantee that the new Black Recycled eco-eze Compots will not leach chemicals into the soil so you can safely place them around your veggies or fruit trees.

The choice is yours in the end.   The green ones can be recycled when you are finished with them.   The Black ones get weaker with each recycle phase until the plastic is no longer useable. The Black Recycled Compots can be recycled at the end of their useful life in your garden.

More About Us

When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.

Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used.   However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

YES. Absolutely you can fill it with just worm friendly scraps if that is what you prefer, but you will have to separate all your scraps into two piles. I personally don’t have time to fiddle with separating food waste and just toss it all in together. One thing though – you may find the Compot will need emptying more often as the worms try to fill the pot up with soil and their castings. But you will have beautiful compost more regularly to harvest if this is your aim and your Compot will be full of worms.

There is no need to water your Compots specifically. When you water your garden water will naturally go into the Compot through the holes and this is a good thing as it will keep the contents nice and moist.

If, however, you found your pots were really dry and the waste was not decomposing at all then you might want to add some water to soften the waste to help the decomposition process along. Dry contents can occur when you don’t cover your Compots with leaves, or hay etc because the hot sun gets in, in summer, and dries the contents out, dehydrating the waste rather than decomposing it. Much the same as if you were to throw your waste out onto an open lawn without burying it. The same will happen in winter but this time it is the cold air drying out or freezing the contents.

You can fill your Compot with any biodegradable waste from your kitchen. IE: Anything that will break down. EG: Meat, citrus, onions, oil, dairy, eggs, coffee grounds, tea and tea bags, paper towel, old nuts, pasta, bread, cooked food of any sort, wastewater (with or without detergent), milk, cream, yogurt, and anything else you can find in your kitchen that you would normally eat or throw in your council bin, aside from the obvious; glass, plastic, metal etc. So literally everything that you produce in the kitchen that is biodegradable.

Everything will decompose – even doggie doo (un-medicated preferably unless you are putting this waste by a big tree or unused part of your garden). No doggie doo in your veggie patch either.

The time it takes to decompose will just depend on the density of the food, the time of the year, and whether you are relying on all the elements to decompose your waste or just worms.

If you only want to fill your Compot with worm friendly scraps, then you need to leave out most of what I just said you could put in the Compot. It’s up to you how you want to use your Compot and what you feed it. But I find it more efficient to fill it with everything. Just do what is best for you.

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 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.

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.
