Question about: Eco King 600

At the end of the video is a bottom that has surprinted "accesory" Is this part of the composter or something extra?

Thomas Smith | 5/10//2024

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for reaching out. The Soil Fence is not included with the composter. It is not necessary for use of the composter, many people will just set the composter directly on the ground. The soil fence can be helpful if you are in an area with tunneling rodents that might dig under the composter to get in, in can help deter this.

Question about: ThermoStar Composter

How does the bottom grating fit into the bin of the composter? Does it purely sit on top or does it attach somehow?

Stacy Hogan | 4/10/2023

Hi Stacy,

The Thermo Wood will simply rest on top of the soil fence. There are no connection points or anything to strap it to the soil fence. That being said, you can use zip ties or string to attach it to the composter if you are concerned about wind blowing it off.

I am interested in purchasing the ECO King 400. How does the contents get mixed?

Susan | 8/4/2016

Like with most if not all “ordinary” composter (4 wall and a lid) there are two ways to mix the content from time to time. The preferred American way is to use a Compost Turning Tool – these are about 36” tall with “wings” at the bottom which open up when you pull the tool back out of the compost pile – it works in a vertical motion.

On the other hand there is the European way: simply lift the hole unit up and away from the content – put the compost bin next to the pile and with pitch/digging fork throw the pile back into the compost bin.

Note: In Europe where composting is very popular – almost every house with a garden does so – homeowners do not have just 1 compost bin but multiple units – 3 is a good average. They do not believe in working the compost – since they do not like mixing new material with old materials. They just let them sit and let time do the job – and yes this is not a quick way average production time is 12-18 months per bin – but there is NO work this way.

On the other hand the Australian developed a totally hands free compost bin years ago: the Aerobin 400 – its unique design makes it 10x more efficient than any other compost bin for consumers. It makes fantastic compost very rich in nutrients. Unfortunately, because of its design and 75 lbs. of materials it is not the cheapest composter – but it is definitely the best.
