Late Summer: Perfect Time to Start Composting

Late Summer: Perfect Time to Start Composting

Late summer brings an abundance of garden clippings, grass, and plant waste—making it the perfect season to start composting. By beginning now, you can turn those materials into nutrient-rich compost ready for autumn mulching or get a head start on fertile soil for spring planting.

Why Start Composting Now?

Late summer offers the right mix of “greens” (fresh waste like grass) and “browns” (dried leaves and stems) to balance your compost. Traditional composting may take many months, but with hot composting, you can speed up the process dramatically and have usable compost in as little as 30–90 days.

The Power of a Hot Composter

Unlike cold compost piles that stall out as temperatures drop, a hot composter retains microbial heat —allowing bacteria and fungi to keep breaking down organic matter and keeping decomposition active year-round. That means you can keep composting well into autumn and even through winter.

Why Choose HOTBIN?

The HOTBIN hot composter is designed with thick insulation that traps natural heat, keeping your composting process efficient in every season. With HOTBIN you can:

  • Turn summer waste into autumn-ready compost.
