IS IT THIS SIMPLE?

Users of the

HOTBIN

Once you are up and running the

of emptying your caddy regularly e.g. on Sunday after the roast, and again mid-week. If your

is not getting hot, please check the document available online called 'How to get the

which should help you resolve why. Again the key tip is to ensure you start with enough waste.

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING

Odour

Ammonia/urine –

nitrogen. However if you fill the HOTBIN with lots of grass, the filter can be overwhelmed

for a couple of days. Use the online FAQ to find out more about composting grass.

Putrid/acrid –

These odours are created when the HOTBIN has insufficient oxygen. As soon

as you notice this odour, add several handfuls of bulking agent and diced cardboard to

enhance aeration, do not leave it.

Cabbage –

All hot compost heaps produce 'cooked cabbage' odours. The HOTBIN bio-filter

will remove these below noticeable levels when the HOTBIN lid is closed but you will get

a quick waft each time you open the lid.

Earthy –

The mature compost in the base of the HOTBIN will have an earthy smell.

Texture

Too wet –

The waste in the top of the HOTBIN will always look wet and steamy. You only need

to worry about excess water if you smell a putrid odour. One of the great features of the

HOTBIN is how easy it is to fix a bin that is turning anaerobic - just add 5 handfuls of chopped

up cardboard and 5 handfuls of bulking agent. Do not leave it to go fully anaerobic and water-

logged as a two minute job will become a stinky 'dig out' and a restart!

Too dry –

Occasionally, the waste in the centre of the bin might appear 'dry' and not

composted. Do not add water (or other liquids). Mix the dry area with the top layer and gently

push it all down into bin. Add new waste on top. If you have a large amount of really dry waste

(e.g. straw) refer to our online FAQ for tips.

Avoid

Adding frozen food items (leave them to thaw). Adding sheet materials such as newspaper,

cardboard and compostable bags – chop these into small pieces as sheets will lay over the

waste and reduce the airflow.
