Compost naturally

Composting directly on site simply makes sense: Our compost monster is a durable composter made of Swiss larch wood and galvanized steel: robust, recyclable and easy to use. Thanks to its well-thought-out system, kitchen and garden waste can be transformed into high-quality humus quickly, cleanly and easily. The resulting soil brings valuable nutrients back into the garden and closes the natural cycle right on your doorstep.

How much does my compost monster eat?

Around 350 liters can be stored in the Momo per year Fresh organic waste (moist, e.g. preparation waste, grass clippings) – along with about the same amount bulking material (dry and woody, e.g. shrub cuttings, straw) compost. This typically corresponds to a household with 1-6 people (optionally with conversion/single-family house) or a garden of approx. 200-400 m². Due to natural degradation, the volume is reduced significantly and around 350 liters of mature, high-quality compost soil is created.

Ideal climate for worms and microorganisms

A good interaction of air and moisture is crucial for effective composting. Conventional systems often become either too dry - for example due to strong ventilation in grid structures - or too moist, as often happens with closed plastic containers. The compost monster therefore relies on a well thought-out metal construction with integrated air slots. These allow for continuous air circulation without the compost drying out excessively. This creates a balanced climate with ideal conditions for microorganisms and composting worms, which continuously break down the organic material. Included in your order is a voucher for free access to a starting population composting worms. You use these about a month after starting - from then on they multiply themselves in the system.

Simply fill and harvest

The roof can be easily opened with one hand and reliably protects the compost from rain and drying out. The front boards can be easily removed for harvesting the ripe compost. Thanks to the integrated grid, the material stays safe in the composter, while the generous opening at the bottom makes it easy to scoop out the finished humus. An active zone remains permanently above where the worms continue to work and feel comfortable. The result: high-quality, living compost for healthy garden soil.

The compost monster eats your fees

Composting your own kitchen and garden waste directly on site is a living circular economy. There is no need to transport green waste or purchase soil - this saves resources and costs. In many Swiss communities you can do this Avoid green waste fees, which are often around 100 CHF per year. At the same time, valuable humus is created: Momo produces around 350 liters of high-quality compost every year - comparable bagged goods usually cost 1-2 CHF per liter in stores.

Make Terra Preta yourself (wow)

And the best thing: With the compost monster you can easily produce Terra Preta - the legendary black earth with particularly high fertility and long-term soil effects. We offer the right one for this Terra Preta compost starter. > Find out herer more about Terra Preta and how you can make it yourself.

The right mix makes all the difference

For the system to work well, the right mix is crucial: Fresh organic waste such as kitchen scraps or lawn clippings should always be combined with structurally rich, woody material. This ensures enough air in the compost and prevents rot. If the main waste is kitchen waste, we recommend our Miscanthus XL as a structuring material. > Here you can find out more about bulking material.
