A composter having a downwardly open container (1) which stands on the ground (2) and has a filling opening which is arranged on the top side and can be closed by a lid (9). An unventilated upper chamber (10), which is arranged beneath the filling opening, opens laterally into a ventilated vertical shaft (13) which extends downward in the container (1) and is bounded at the lower end by a horizontally arranged lower plate (14) which is arranged between the shaft (13) and a downwardly open, ventilated lower chamber (17) which reaches down as far as the lower end of the container (1), and next to which in the container casing there is arranged a closable lateral removal opening. The lower plate (14) can be pivoted about a horizontal pivot (15) and is coupled to a movement mechanism which is to be actuated by hand and has a handle (18) arranged on the outside of the container (1).
