The compost that emerges from a Ridan composter will have completed the hot thermophilic stage of composting but in order to become a good growing medium it must be matured for a further 2 or 3 months before use. Compost maturation works best when there is a large mass of compost, hence the Ridan 900 will hold nearly 1000 litres!
Ridan 900 Maturation Box is a robust 970 litre compost bin with steel base constructed from tough insulated plastic, it has an easy opening secure lid on top and compost removal hatches at the bottom. Complete with steel base to keep pests at bay, it is simple to assemble and ideally suited to maturing compost after it has been through the Ridan. Can also be used simply as an insulated garden compost bin which will keep the contents warm.
A carefully designed arrangement of ventilation slots and channels feed and extract air from the compost, these also provide access for bugs, beetles, worms and all the creatures that really do the work for you, see our composting page for details.
Usually used in pairs so that whilst one Ridan 900 compost bin is being filled the other is being left to mature before harvesting. This system works well with the Mini Ridan and the Standard Ridan, however 3 or even 4 Ridan 900 compost bins will be needed to cope with the output from the Big Ridan.
Dimensions 1m x 1m x 1m.
