Darlac Compost Aerator
Also known as a Compost Turner or Compost Stirrer, the Darlac Compost Aerator is the new-age, user-friendly version of the ‘L’ shaped model of aerators. Aerating your compost is very important for rapid odour-free decomposition. It also helps a lot in reducing the compost’s initial moisture content getting it ready much sooner. If compost is not aerated, the process slows down as the composting organisms do not get enough oxygen.
The ‘T’ shaped device has been designed to be the best version of this tool as it reduces the strain on your wrist and shoulders greatly when compared to its single hand, ‘L’ shaped counterparts. Its powder-coated steel construction makes it durable and good looking. Way easier than traditional methods of compost aeration like forking, this compost aerator is very simple to use. Just push it directly into the compost heap, twist and retract. As it is retracted the ‘winged’ blades will open up and create air pockets inside the compost, aerating it as it goes.

- User-friendly compost aerator
- Reduces strain on your wrists, shoulders and back
- ‘T’ shaped device with winged blades
- Made with powder-coated steel
- Durable and very easy to use
We have made our own compost for many years. Recently, our bins had developed several rigid layers of allegedly “compostable” paper towels and plastic kitchen tidy bags.
The various designs of curly metal swizzle sticks that are freely available from hardware stores had no hope of dealing with this problem.
We are both well over 70 and needed a simple, ergonomic and effective solution – so we went searching on the electric interweb thing and now we have found it. (Our first online purchase! )
The T-bar handle, pointy end and moving blades makes it easy for us to get to the bottom of the bin, rotate and lift.
(It also does a good job of extracting all the woke plastic and paper crap that was causing the problem in the first place. We have donated that to the local council via their fortnightly green bin, having confirmed that their system can handle it)
