Q:Can this be placed under a deck or does it need direct sunlight to help decomp?

Answer This Question

A:  This item needs direct sunlight to heat it up for composting. You would not want it under a deck due to composting odors that can occur.

by|Apr 1, 2022

A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is, You can place your compost bin in direct sunlight or in the shade, but putting it in the sun will hasten the composting process.

      Q:The description says in one place to just add fresh to the top and remove compost from bottom when ready, but in another place it says to rotate. Do I have to turn the compost with this compost bin?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Yes, pull it out through the bottom door and place it back through the top. Or get a tool that you can stick through the top and hand rotate it.

      by|Jul 16, 2021

      A:  Compost rotation isn't required, but then the material that is ready to use will be on the bottom.

      by|Apr 21, 2021

        A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their reply is, Thank you for your reaching out to us and we're sorry for the confusion about our composting guide. The compost rotation part is for the composter tumbler. There is no need to rotate if you have the 420L Compost Bin, just add fresh to the top and remove compost from the bottom when ready.

          A:  yes with all compost bin

                    A:  The bin sits on open ground. You should put it on dirt (not concrete). This type works well if you don't have rats who will dig to get into the bin.

                          Q:How are mice and rats kept out of the compost bin? Are there openings that can allow mice or rats into the bin? What is the actual dimensions as it shows 32" x 32" x 5.5" deep - which doesn't look like the photo.

                          A:  Hi Jeannie, I think there's a typo in the dimensions. It probably was supposed to say 55" deep instead of 5.5" Good luck gardening...

                          by|Jan 31, 2021

                            A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is, There are no openings big enough for rats or mice to go in through.

                              A:  Rats and mice wouldn't likely fit in through the vents, but they could dig holes to go under an edge to get inside. The bin is larger than most residential outdoor compost bins. But it is not 5 feet tall or deep.

                              by|Apr 22, 2021

                                A:  Now that a question you have to monitor yourself. I have possum, racoon, rabbit, squirrel, birds that like to see what new in the bin.
