What is Hungry Bin?
Designed and made in New Zealand, Hungry Bin is a fast and convenient way to compost your food scraps. The innovative design is highly efficient and can process up to 4 lbs of waste per day. It not only makes fantastic fertilizer and plant food - it looks great too.
How does it work?
No more lifting heavy and wet trays full of dirt and worms, Hungry Bin is designed to make harvesting castings clean and effortless. The design easily separates worms from the castings before harvest. The unique taper technology creates a large surface area allowing worms to easily access the food scraps at the top increasing their processing capacity while compressing their castings below. Nutrient-rich liquid that is harvested from the bottom tray. It does not have a tap that can block or need replacing, the liquid drains through a filter straight into the tray.
