The different composting systems all accelerate nature's natural processes by heating up the compost and concentrating the microbes into a confined space.
Composting systems vary in what they recycle, including all types of organic waste such as food, paper, cardboard, and garden materials. They all process larger volumes, making them suitable for households with a lot of food and/or garden waste.
On-ground composters need to be placed on soil. As the scraps break down, nutrient-rich liquid disperses into the surrounding soil, leaving compost to be harvested from the bottom every 6–12 months. Each time you add kitchen scraps, stir them in for about 30 seconds and cover with equal parts garden scraps (kept stockpiled near your compost bin). On-ground composters produce compost in 3–6 months.
Tumbling composters sit off the ground and can be placed anywhere, including balconies. After adding kitchen scraps, simply rotate the drum a couple of times using the cranks and cover with equal parts garden scraps (kept stockpiled under your tumbler). Tumblers produce compost in 3–6 months.
Solar composters are partially dug into the ground and capture more heat from the sun, which aerates the compost without the need to turn it. They are faster than the other two systems and require less maintenance. They do not compost garden organics but do process all kinds of food waste and even pet poo!
Traditional Composting
Works by accelerating nature’s natural process of breaking down organic waste into a rich nourishing compost, teeming with life and a supercharger for your garden.
Composting systems recycle all types of organic waste including food, paper, cardboard and garden materials. This makes them perfect for larger households.
Open-bottom units need to be placed on soil. As the scraps break down nutrient-rich liquid will disperse into the surrounding soil. After ~6 months compost can be harvested from the bottom.
Tumbler Composting
Works by accelerating nature’s natural process of breaking down organic waste into a rich nourishing compost, teeming with life and a supercharger for your garden.
Composting systems recycle all types of organic waste including food, paper, cardboard and garden materials. This makes them perfect for larger households.
Tumblers sit off the ground and can be placed anywhere, including balconies. As the scraps break down nutrient-rich liquid will drain from the tumbler and can be collected to fertilise your garden. After one chamber is full you can let the compost mature whilst filling the other. After ~6 months you can harvest the mature compost.
Φάρμα σκουληκιών
Works with the help of wriggly warriors who chew through your food scraps, producing nutrient-rich worm castings and liquid fertiliser.
Worm farms recycle fruit and vegetables scraps, excluding citrus, onion, garlic and chilli.
The units can be placed indoors or outdoors, in a sheltered location out of the wind, rain and direct sunlight.
With a little tender loving care, worms will chew through your food scraps to produce liquid fertiliser on tap. This is diluted 10:1 and watered onto your plants. Worm farms also produce nutrient-rich worm castings, which can be harvested every 2–6 months or whenever you need space for more food scraps.
Choose from The Farm, our compact, stylish award-winning worm farm made here by the Compost Revolution in Melbourne, Australia, or the large capacity SubPod or Hungry Bins, both made in the USA and ready to munch through 2L of food a day!

With a little tender loving care, worms will chew through your food scraps to produce nutrient-rich worm castings which can be harvested every 2-6 months. Liquid fertiliser also flows out of the farm on a regular basis, which can be diluted 10 to 1 with water to create free organic fertiliser for your garden.

In-Ground Worm Farming
Works with the help of wriggly warriors who chew through your food scraps, producing nutrient-rich worm castings and nutrients for the surrounding soil.
Below-ground worm farms recycle fruit and vegetable scraps, even small amounts of citrus, onion, garlic, and chilli.
These units can be installed directly into soil or in raised garden beds. Although underground, it is still beneficial to choose a sheltered location out of direct sunlight if you can.
With a little tender loving care, worms will chew through your food scraps to produce nutrient-rich worm castings, which can be harvested every 3–6 months. Over time, the garden surrounding your underground worm farm will be rich and thriving due to the nutrient flow from the farm into the surrounding soil.
Choose from the Subpod Classic, with its dual chambers for larger capacity (up to 20L a week!) and easier harvesting of castings, or the Subpod Mini, designed for smaller spaces and food quantities (about 10L a week).
Compost bins process your scraps via above ground, partially buried, or rotating chambers.
- Processes lots of food scraps (limit meat and dairy).
- On-ground and tumblers compost garden waste too.
- Low maintenance.
Produces fluffy compost for fertalising, mulching and building up your soil. You can even use it like soil and plant straight into it.

- Processes small to medium amounts of food scraps, primarily fruit and vegetables.
- Suitable for indoor as well as outdoor placement.
- A bit more maintenance.
All worm farms produce rich worm casting fertaliser. Traditional farms also produce lots of liquid fertiliser for your plants.
See benefitsTraditional compost bins accelerate nature's nutrient reycling using heat created within above ground chambers or rotating tumblers.
