Your compost bin as a real eye-catcher with Ecoo trays

1. Create a biodiversity green roof with sedum

Sedum is the ideal choice for a green roof: it requires very little maintenance, grows even in shallow soil, tolerates drought, and rarely needs pruning or watering. It blooms abundantly in summer and late summer while attracting beneficial insects that support pollination in your garden.

Want to get started? It’s simple:

• Fill the trays with a thin layer of clay pebbles
• Add potting soil
• Plant the sedum

2. Give your vegetable garden a flying start

Our 8 cm high trays give your seeds a safe start. Easily grow multiple varieties at the same time and follow their development into strong young plants. This allows you to care for them calmly and monitor their growth. Once they are large enough, simply replant them – roots and all – for a faster, healthier start in your vegetable garden.

3. Discover the benefits of herbs

Oregano, thyme, chives, and chervil not only add color to your garden but also flavor to your meals. This way, you turn your compost bin into an edible green roof. Aromatic herbs such as lemon thyme also release a scent that is less attractive to mosquitoes and flies – ideal if your compost bin is near your kitchen or terrace.

Tip: each herb has its own preferences for sun and moisture. Follow care instructions for a rich and healthy harvest.

4. Brighten your compost bin with colorful flowers

In addition to sedum, you can enhance the Ecoo trays with colorful flowers such as:

• Annual flowers like Sanvitalia procumbens, Calibrachoa Triobells, or geranium varieties
• Pansies, which bloom for a long time and are even edible as garnishes for salads or desserts

This ensures insects still have food in late summer, a period when resources are often scarce. It also turns your compost bin into an ecological highlight that is both beautiful and beneficial to nature.
