Using The Compost In Your Garden

Take care when applying the composted material to your garden. It is mildly acidic, and contains 
salt compounds. Material directly from your Organics Unit is not a growing medium in its own right, 
therefore should not be planted in directly.

Generally the material is comparable in strength to poultry manure and as such should be treated 
similarly.

Spread at a low rate and incorporate well into soil.

For direct use, spread around a 5mm layer per square metre and dig in to around 5–10cm of the top 
layer of soil. The addition of lime at a rate of 1kg per square metre would also be beneficial if the soil  
is not naturally high in pH (>7pH).

Alternatively, the material can be incorporated with garden organic waste for further composting.  
A mix of 30–50% material from the Organics Unit with other materials (dry leaves, and grass clippings 
etc..) would be suitable.

You should also note that composted material may contain seeds that may sprout in your garden.

Important: Just like composts, mulches and fertilisers that you can purchase from your local 
nursery or garden supplier, the composted material from your machine should be treated with 
the same care as these also contain micro-organisms. 

The following HEALTH WARNING applies:

• 

When handling compost you should avoid breathing its dust or mists.

• 

Wear a particulate mask if it is dusty.

• 

Wear gloves and keep the product moist when handling.

• 

Wash your hands immediately after use.

Storing Compost

Compost can be stored in plastic or nylon bags, in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, for up 
to 2–3 years. Ensure the compost is free of excess moisture before placing into bags.

Punch a few holes in the bag to allow moisture to escape.

Keep the bags away from rats, birds and pets.
