Aerobin composter
G'day All,
Does anyone have any feedback on the new Aerobin compost bin? Supposed to be designed in Oz and capable of producing good compost even in shade. Very expensive though. Should I stick to my old no-bottom, black plastic bin? Major problem with that is it gets infested with curl grubs. From descriptions on the Aerobin's webpage, it might be proof against such bugs.

Aerobin composter
I have been using aerobin since July. After hearing good stories about
it but so far it has not been very successful in breaking down the waste yet. I think it lacks moisture and I have added some grey water from washing machine to it. Hopefully it will solve the problem. On hot days I have noticed a lot of bugs and flies inside it, but never outside it, there is no noticeable smell either. This is my first experience with composting. On Nov 4, 4:26 pm, Jonno wrote: After reading the website material I would say , it sounds good. http://au.blogs.yahoo.com/better-hom...bin-as-seen-on...

I would never use gray water for composting.
