I built this two-bay compost bin for people like you who want to get serious about composting.

It’s got a massive 1024-litre capacity, so you can chuck in kitchen scraps, garden clippings — whatever you’ve got — and keep it all moving. Start in one bay, finish in the other. Easy.

I make these from solid NZ macrocarpa or H3.2 treated pine — both tough, rot-resistant, and built to handle our weather. No assembly needed, it arrives ready to use. I’ve added aeration gaps to keep things breathing, and the front slats slide out so you can turn or empty the pile without a struggle. Optional lids available too, if you want to keep the birds out and the worms happy.

If you want a custom size or prefer macrocarpa, just let me know — I’ve got options.

📏 Dimensions:

1.6m (L) x 80cm (W) x 80cm (H) – spacious yet compact enough to fit most backyards.

Easy Composting

Getting Started with Composting
Each Peter & Son compost bin bay is crafted from solid wood (pine or macrocarpa) and measures 80cm x 80cm x 80cm. These high-quality composting systems help keep your compost tidy and contained, making them ideal for urban settings. Plus, the larger the bin, the faster your compost will decompose.
How to Compost
Alternate layers of green matter (food scraps, manure, fresh grass clippings, weeds without seeds, seaweed, tea leaves, coffee grounds) and brown matter (torn newspaper, cardboard, chopped tree prunings, dry leaves, untreated sawdust, wood ash, twigs). Aim for half green and half brown material.
Troubleshooting Your Compost
- Too Wet: Add straw, twigs, or newspaper to balance the moisture. Use a lid to limit rain.
- Too Dry: Use a lid, then sprinkle with water or add more green materials.
- Smelly Compost: Remove the front slats and turn the compost with a spade.
