Why we think our Bamboo Baskets and Terracotta Pots are great for Leaf Composting.

Make waste visible, not out of sight out of mind!

You need a good porous and large bin to store leaves to make mulch or compost. Our products are ideally suited to do this and also enhance the aesthetics of the landscape. They blend beautifully into the landscape and are not an eyesore. Also in our country if you put anything of value out in the streets there is a fear that it will be stolen. The Bamboo basket once full, is of too little commercial value for anyone to pick up. The Terracotta Leave it Pot is too heavy to carry off and has no resale value.

So use these under Every Tree and watch the ground, tree, squirrels, butterflies, ants, rats, lizards, birds all smile.

Why are there different types and forms of leaf composters?

As there are many forms of chairs that serve the same function, so there are many forms of leaf composters. Customers then have a choice.

What is the difference between the bamboo composter and the terracotta composter?

They are made of different materials and the bamboo composter comes in bigger sizes. The Bamboo product is lighter and much more porous. It decomposes over time. It can be moved around more easily than the terracotta one.

I have an empty plot of land next to me, can I just dump the leaves there and water the pile to make leaf compost?

Using an empty plot to do leaf composting is a great use of space and you get a fertile plot at the end of the day. Make sure you keep stray plastic and other non-biodegradable litter out.

Can I use the leaf composters to do kitchen waste composting?

You can definitely use the terracotta composters to do the kitchen waste composting also. The bamboo ones are not strong enough to keep out the rats who get attracted to the smell of kitchen waste decomposing.
