This document describes a biochar compost bin that efficiently converts domestic biowaste into compost using biochar. The cylindrical or conical bin contains layers of food waste, sawdust or dry leaves, and biochar powder. As the mixture aerobically composts over 2-3 weeks, biochar helps manage smells while plants growing in the compost absorb leachate. Key benefits include converting waste to value-added compost with less space needed.
