Just bought the Bamboozle compost bin, how do I get started/use?

Question

No instructions in the box or on the box, googling all over but most info is on backyard ones. Help much appreciated, thanks!

Thank you so, so much, I'm already excited and have been throwing scraps in on the regular; with all the vegetables I prepare, I wish I'd bought one of these sooner! Really appreciate your responses. Have a great week.

Oh, that's great! There's a section in the article called "How Long Does Composting Take?" and we definitely suggest giving it a read if you haven't already—as a quick overview, Camryn writes that decomposition can take 2-4 months and that you'll know it's ready to be used once it looks and feels like the earth (and not food waste).

Thanks, I read the guide, had a bunch of scraps that I threw in there with coffee grounds, how long before it's broken down and I can use it in the garden?
