Earthmaker Home Composting System 

Go green with ease. Processing food and garden waste in the most eco-friendly way is easy with Earthmaker.

Easy to Use

Earthmaker’s patented three-stage process uses traditional three-bin composting and is stacked vertically so gravity does the hard work!  

Earthmaker’s continuous cycle process keeps new material away from older material. Food and garden waste can be added at any time. Mature garden compost can be removed when convenient.  

The Earthmaker push-pull-tool makes it easy to mix and move material through the process without straining your back with heavy lifting and turning.

Size & Delivery

Your Earthmaker has a capacity of 466 litres and measures 1200mm high by 750mm diameter once assembled. It is delivered in an easy to handle box, with easy to follow assembly instructions (See our product video below ↓ ).

Faster Aeration Process

Research at Garden Organic, an independent research institute in the UK, found that Earthmaker will make twice as much compost as traditional bins over the same period. 

Earthmaker’s unique aerobic process increases aeration when material loosens as it spills from shelf to shelf. Oxygen is needed for microbes to break down organic waste efficiently – so aerobic composting is much faster than single-bin composting!  

Attempting to aerate material in cheaper single-bin units means mixing new waste with old which slows down the process. The waste in single-bins will decompose anaerobically creating methane, leachate and rotten smells. These bins only work if the material is regularly lifted and turned.

Heat from the sun absorbed into the top chamber accelerates the process.

How it works

Top chamber – mixing
Composting begins with microbial action. Fungi and bacteria make heat (that’s why grass cuttings get hot) and also like heat. Radiant energy from the sun (even when it’s cloudy) is helpful, especially in winter.

Middle chamber – digesting
‘Biological mulching’ occurs during the next phase. The internal climate is cooler and composting continues with invertebrates assisting micro-organisms to further break down larger particles of your valuable food and garden waste. Earthworms may hatch from eggs in the grass cuttings and leaves etc.

Lower chamber – maturing and storing
As the material reaches the ground excess water drains away and the process begins converting the mulch into compost. If you leave it long enough it will become sweet smelling and ‘friable’, but it can be added to your garden at any stage between mulch and compost.
