Why use the Wingdigger?
Loosens the contents of your bin.
Creates the necessary air pockets for healthy, earthy-smelling compost.
Blends active bacteria and older materials with new additions, resulting in faster compost.
How to use the Wingdigger:
Plunge the Wingdigger straight down to the bottom of the compost bin and pull straight back out.
Repeat 5-10 times to loosen the entire contents of your bin.
Do not try to ‘stir’ bin contents.
For optimal results, use the Wingdigger following each addition of fresh material.

How composting works:
Your backyard compost bin works through the action of bacteria.
All you need to do is create the right conditions in your bin for bacteria to thrive and they’ll create rich, earthy-smelling compost out of your home and garden scraps.
Bacteria need 3 things:
An EQUAL mix of “brown” and “green” material.
Brown: leaves, torn newspaper, paper towels and napkins, egg cartons.
Green: fruit and vegetable scraps and fresh garden clippings.
Moisture – like a wrung-out sponge.
Oxygen – easiest to add with Wingdigger.
