After having a few sludgy composts that we had to work hard to fix, it's been so interesting to monitor our compost and get a view into what's going on inside the bins.

Monty has taken all of their science-y knowledge, and distilled it into an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand system: a UFO-like stick that lives in your compost with Bluetooth connection to an app that monitors your compost, and offers helpful tips to improve it! I’ve been enjoying using the system for a while now.

From the outside my heap seemed to be doing its thing. But thankfully the data was able to tell another story. With a little research the basic learning was: - Way too much brown content!

What is Monty Mobile?
Monty Mobile is Monty Monitor's companion app. Monty Mobile uses our advanced compost analysis model to collate your compost data. That's not all, Monty Mobile includes a whole heap of other fun features like games, compost definitions, learning resources and more!
Is Monty waterproof?
It is more appropriate to say the Monitor is splash-proof - it can stay outdoors in your compost or in the rain with no issues but avoid submerging it in any water or subjecting it to heavy washing.
How do I charge Monty?
Monty Monitor charges wirelessly. So all that is required is to place the Monitor on the charging pad. Ensure that your Monitor is centred on the wireless charging pad. A successful charging connection is indicated by a light on the top point of the monitor. This can vary from red, blue, yellow, green or flashing white. Lights may change during charging, so it is best to leave it on charge for 4-6 hours.
How long does Monty's battery last?
With one to two daily connections, your Monitor should last around a month before it needs to be charged again.
Where can I find Monty's charger?
In order to minimise packaging, we store the charger inside the main Monty Monitor packaging! Simply pull out the insert supporting the stem and the charging pad box and the charging cable box will be inside. To note: the insert is fit very snug so don't worry if you have to use some force to pull it out.
What is Monty made out of?
Monty Monitor is made to last with ABS plastic. This material doesn't break down over time or release harmful chemicals, so your compost is in safe hands. The plastic enclosure is fully recyclable and internal electronics are almost entirely recyclable. As we had to prioritise durability, materials used within Monty Monitor are not compostable. We don't want Monty breaking down and decomposing in your compost of course!
Where is Monty made?
Monty is made right here in Queensland, Australia! We worked with local Queensland businesses to bring your smart composting companion Monty to life.
