A bottomless compost bucket is a drop from the Hespori, which can be filled with compost, supercompost, or ultracompost. Tool Leprechauns will store one of them in its own slot.

Despite being called a bottomless compost bucket, it can only hold a maximum of 10,000 uses of a single type of compost. With each bucket of compost added, it gains two charges, effectively doubling the use of a single bucket of compost. It can be filled with up to 5,000 buckets at a time. It can be filled from a compost bin or from other noted or unnoted buckets of compost. If buckets of compost are used to fill the bottomless compost bucket, empty buckets are returned to the player in the same noted/unnoted form. Compost in the bottomless bucket can only be used to fertilise farming patches and cannot be put back into empty buckets, only discarded.

The doubling effect means that if used exclusively for ultracompost, the bottomless compost bucket will pay for itself after fertilising 1,668 farming patches.

The bottomless compost bucket is tradeable only when empty, which can be done via the right-click option to empty the bucket.
