HOTBIN Mk.2 Composter and accessories

The Hotbin Mk. 2 is the next evolution in composting technology, offering a revolutionary aerobic composting system that creates usable compost in just 30 to 90 days—32 times faster than traditional compost bins. (Time can vary depending on waste quality, quantity, and outside temperature.) This innovative design enables the Hotbin to maintain temperatures of 40-60°C, even during winter, making it capable of processing a wider range of waste, including vegetable peelings, grass clippings, leaves, cooked meat, and even small bones. As the bacteria break down the waste, they generate heat that is retained by the insulated unit, providing the ideal environment for producing rich, crumbly compost. High temperatures kill fly larvae, weed seeds, and pathogens, ensuring your compost is clean, safe, and ready to use—without spreading pests or diseases in your garden. Several clever features make the Hotbin Mk. 2 a popular choice. The sealed unit includes a built-in bio-filter in the lid to reduce any odour, and the large hatch panel makes compost removal simple. Additionally, the leachate collection system lets you collect nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser (compost tea) through a handy tap, perfect for feeding your plants naturally. Designed and manufactured in the UK, this award-winning product is highly praised by gardeners for its efficient, sleek design, 200-litre capacity, and quick compost production. It’s ideal for households of 3-5 people, producing at least 5kg of waste per week. Constructed from 100% recyclable expanded polypropylene, the Hotbin Mk. 2 also comes with a reassuring 3-year guarantee.
