    Compost bucket holders can empty their veggie scrap in one of our tumblers (map of the garden). Please, follow the INSTRUCTIONS on your bucket:

    - Only Veggie Scraps; NO Animal Protein, NO plastic (even compostable)
    - Empty your bucket in one of the tumblers
    - Add the same quantity of wood chip than your bucket.
    - Close the tumbler and turn it 3 times.
