The addition of brown material in the form of wood chippings, bark mulch, flower stems and woody prunings assists airflow within the unit and helps to eliminate the need for turning or rotating your waste. When added to the bin, the structure of the material adds bulk to the heap and creates lots of little air pockets which allows air to circulate more freely through your HOTBIN.

As HOTBIN is a aerobic compost bin, composting bacteria are reliant on oxygen in order for them to survive and work efficiently to breakdown all of your compostables.

50 litres of woodchip: Six month supply

Woodchip FAQs

How long will it last?

In a Standard 200 Litre HOTBIN

50 litres: 4-6 months (approx)
100 litres: 8-12 months (approx)

(consumption will vary user by user and last longer with the smaller HOTBIN Mini)

How is it delivered?

Delivered in a recyclable (compostable) cardboard box and recyclable black bag made from recycled material. Reuse these bags to store your finished compost.

Note: Our Woodchip (Bulking agent) is shipped in 50 litre bags. Orders will consist of one bag for 50 litres and two bags for 100 litres

Does it need to be dry?

It is not essential for woodchip to be dry as it will still function as a method of creating and maintaining airspaces throughout the heap to improve airflow. However, if you are adding wet woodchip into your HOTBIN you should add an extra handful of card/paper to counteract the extra moisture. Keeping woodchip undercover, and as dry as possible, will remove the need for extra card/paper.

How often should I add woodchip?

Every time you feed the HOTBIN to maintain the flow of oxygen around the structure of free air spaces (aeration). Mix in a couple of handfuls with every 5 litre kitchen caddy full of fresh waste that you add.
