Meet my second cardboard composter!

Now that my first composter is almost full, I bought a second kit from Hino City.

Instead of the kit, I could make one using a free cardboard box from a nearby supermarket, but I wanted to have one that is exactly the same in size as the first one.

Here are some photos and notes about the composter.

materialsInitial materials: 9L of bamboo powder & 6L of sobagara-kuntan そば殻くん炭

box1Size of the box: W370mm×H360mm×D300mm

box2Handle holes are covered with tape from the inside.

box3The corners are taped well to make the box sturdy.

box4To double the bottom, the original box is lined with a rectangle-shaped piece of cardboard covered with a plastic bag 😦

I think a wooden board would work equally well.
