These little breaks are essential to the companions composter. I bought two (graphite black and beige) dedicated the composter and the other hens. The look of the boxes allows to leave them permanently on the work plan. I had not noticed that a plastic jump was inside the metal bucket, it makes cleaning easier but reduces the capacity of the jump. Its small size does not appear to be a problem, its function is to collect waste before transport to the composter. Moreover, if they were bigger, it will less fun on the kitchen worktop! Keep my old tub for days of great food and if quantitative need, but now this basin no longer drags on my worktop! This is a great product, too bad it does not exist the same jumps "Hens" written on it instead of "Compost". When is the model "Hens" ;-)?
