Try not to cram it full needs space for air to flow.

Buy a 60l storage barrel to keep next to it and fill it with woodchip and shredded paper. As far as I can tell you can't really add too much but it'll go anaerobic without.

Just a few sticks in the bottom, a load of grass and some leaves or shredded cardboard should get that carbon to nitrogen ratio right and see you steaming in no time.

Just got a Hotbin. Obvs I can read their website, but anyone got any tips for getting it started well? have plenty of chicken poo, shredded hemp hen bedding, and normal food waste which could go in. Also an existing compost heap which is doing nothing fast which I’m hoping to put through it.
