1. Set Up Your Composter.
Choose a site that is level and well-drained. This will allow excess water to drain out of the compost. Place the composter directly onto soil to encourage helpful creatures such as worms to get in. Alternatively use sand or cement to level the base.
2. Assemble The Composter.
Simply slide the chosen number of panels together and place in position. Each pack contains 10 panels. You can vary the size and shape to fit your site by using different numbers of panels. (See Further Information)
3. Start Making Compost.

4. Let The Composter Do Its’ Work.
While you are filling from the top the material gradually sinks down. It may take as long as a year to fill the composter.
5. When The Composter Is Full.
For a small garden or household the bottom half may well be ready by the time the composter is full. Slide up two panels, pull the rest of the panels away and set up on a new site. Transfer a few worms with a small amount of compost to the new site. Use the un-composted material from the top to start the new heap. For a large garden or household a second container can be set up alongside the first one. The finished compost will be dark brown, moist and full of nutrients. Spread the compost onto your flower beds to suppress the weeds and help your plants to grow.
