The Drop Root Plus (XL) is an underground vermicomposter with extra starting capacity for more intensive composting in open ground, vegetable beds, and greenhouses. Kitchen and garden waste is converted directly into rich worm compost in the soil—right where your plants grow.

Instead of moving organic material to a separate compost bin, you create a living nutrient core right in the middle of your planting bed.

Enrich your soil

Organic matter is locally decomposed by earthworms and microorganisms. The released nutrients gradually spread into the surrounding soil.

This ensures:

• Continuous soil enrichment

• Building up stable humus

• Better water retention

• Less need for additional fertilizers

• A stronger, more resilient soil structure

You support a natural process that improves your soil year after year.

Attract beneficial soil life to your plants

With a traditional compost bin, composting takes place in a single location in the garden. With Drop Root Plus, you bring that ecosystem to your planting bed.

• Earthworms are attracted to the root zone

• Microorganisms spread around your plants

• Nutrients are transported to the roots via soil life

This reduces the risk of root burn and ensures a gradual, natural nutrient release.

Natural soil aeration

Worms and soil life move freely between the compost and surrounding soil. Their activity creates natural tunnels in the soil.

The result:

• Better air circulation in the root zone

• Less soil compaction

• Stronger root development

• Healthier microbial activity

The soil is not only nourished but also actively aerated.

Perfect for open ground and greenhouse

Drop Root Plus (XL) is ideal for:

• Larger vegetable garden beds

• Herb and flower beds

• Open ground

• Greenhouses with cultivation

In a greenhouse, the system provides a stable compost environment and continuous soil enrichment between your plants.

Controlled interaction with roots

The openings are recessed in the ribs. Beneficial soil life can circulate freely, while roots are less likely to come into direct contact with the highly concentrated compost.

This ensures:

• Gradual nutrient release

• Less risk of root burn

• Balanced soil interaction

Smart water management

The tight-fitting lid is designed to drain rainwater that falls on it away from the compost contents.

Because of this:

• excessive wetting is prevented

• the compost balance remains healthy

• anaerobic conditions are avoided

Insulating wall structure

The walls contain air pockets that create an insulating effect. This dampens temperature fluctuations and keeps worm activity more stable, even in changing weather conditions.

The anthracite colour also helps to absorb heat during cooler periods.

Modular and expandable

Drop Root Plus (XL) consists of a base, middle and top section.

You can:

• Add extra center sections for more capacity

• Expand the system as your compost volume increases

• Add a superstructure later (Hybrid configuration possible)

You start with a powerful base volume and expand as your garden grows.

Drop Root Plus (XL) is not a classic compost bin, but an integrated, living system that feeds, aerates and strengthens your soil — exactly where your plants need it.
