Compost bin - Pottery large compost jar, 4,5L composting crock with charcoal filter, Compost bin, Ceramic, Stoneware, Handmade, Wheel thrown

COMPOST BIN
My 4,5L compost bin is perfect to compost at home. You can keep it on the counter or in the cupboard with its carbon filter that helps to prevent odors. You can use it as is or put a plastic bucket inside to help with emptying and cleaning. Its smooth interior makes it easy to clean anyways. It would surely be a nice rustic looking addition to your kitchen or cottage! Looking for another useful kitchen tool or to make a canister set?

This piece is handmade by myself in my Lawrencetown studio using wheel thrown red Canadian stoneware and homemade glaze. It is food safe and lead free. It is also dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer safe although I recommend hand washing and carefully avoiding thermal shock at all times.

As with all my work, each piece is handmade and unique and therefore has its own character. The size, shape and color may vary and differ from the pictures. These slight imperfections are what makes handmade beautiful and are meant to be enjoyed.

WARNING
- Make sure you empty your bin at least once a week whether it’s full or not.
- You can soak your bin (particularly the unglazed parts) in vinegar from time to time to reduce the smell.
- You must change the filter every 3 months. Filters can be compostable, check with your supplier.
- Replacement filters can be found easily online. I recommend a 16 cm diameter charcoal filter with a 10 mm thickness (up until 20 mm in the summer).
