The Vitax Compost Maker is a compost accelerator designed to speed up the breakdown of organic garden and household waste, transforming it into rich, dark compost in a matter of weeks. This economical solution contains organic nutrients that accelerate decomposition of materials which might otherwise degrade very slowly, making it an essential product for gardeners and landscapers looking to recycle organic waste efficiently. This versatile compost maker works with a wide range of organic materials including grass cuttings, weeds, leaves, vegetable matter, egg shells, and shredded woody material. Whether you're managing traditional compost heaps, using compost bins, or working with plastic sacks, this accelerator integrates easily into your composting system. For compost heaps, simply alternate layers of organic material with Vitax Compost Maker, keeping the top warm and moist by covering with a polythene sheet. When using compost bins or plastic sacks, mix the accelerator directly with the material whilst filling. This flexibility makes it suitable for both professional landscaping operations and domestic gardening projects where quality compost production is required. Features and Benefits: • Contains organic nutrients to accelerate natural decomposition • Produces rich, dark compost in weeks rather than months • Works with diverse organic materials from grass to woody waste • Compatible with heaps, bins, and sack composting systems Specifications: Feed Type: Compost Maker Size (kg): 2.5
