Quick Steps to Composting Success

1. Build Your Bin

Set up your wire mesh cylinder or prepare your holed drum as described above.

2. Layer Scraps

Add alternating layers of browns and greens. Aim for roughly twice as much brown material as green by volume. Chop larger scraps smaller!

3. Connect Your binGo Sensor

Connect with your binGo sensor via the bin’s page to start monitoring.

4. Maintain with binGo's Help

Moisture: Your compost should feel like a wrung-out sponge. Add water based on your binGo app's feedback.

Mixing: Regularly mix your pile with a shovel/fork. Your binGo app will let you know when to turn for optimal air flow and heat!
