Hotbin Trial with Andy. 120kg up! As a part of my Hotbin trial with Adur District Council I have now reached within 3 months a total of over 120kg of materials put into the bin. The data is here https://thoughtfulgardeningwithandy.weebly.com/hotbin... and is a mixture of kitchen peelings, chippings, garden waste and coffee grounds. This is the equivalent to 500kg or there abouts in a year and brings into sharp focus the impact that using a compost bin has on waste management. Over the Bank Holiday weekend I will begin using some of the compost that had been created in the Home Garden.

    Hotbin trial 

    Hi. I am Andy Brook, a gardener in Lancing, West Sussex UK. In May 2021 I was chosen to take part in a composting trial by Adur District Council who very generously  gave me a state of the art Hotbin composter made by  leading edge Hotbin Composting these blogs are about how I got on!

    The Hotbin perfects and speeds the classic creation of garden compost from organic waste. Other people are producing excellent quality, nutrient rich compost from items that might have gone into landfill or simply not been used sustainably. Such items include paper, cooked food, wood chippings and bark, kitchen peelings, grass cuttings and green garden waste
