If you are struggling to get your HOTBIN up to temperature, then one of these two reasons could explain why.

The first is that you may not be adding enough fresh waste for the bacteria to get your HOTBIN up to temperature. We recommend adding a minimum of 10 litres of waste once a week or 5 litres of waste twice a week; although we find the HOTBIN works best when fed little and often.

The second cause of a cold HOTBIN is often a result of poor or blocked aeration.

If the bacteria in your bin do not get enough oxygen then like you or me they cannot work very efficiently. In the HOTBIN, good air circulation is vital to the successful and effective decomposition of your food and garden waste.

In this video, we will look at a few things you can do to get your HOTBIN hot. Feeding your compost bin more ‘easy to digest’ waste improves heat generation and adding and stirring in Bulking Agent every time you add wet waste like peelings, food and grass will improve airflow.
