How to choose the best compost bin for you
How do compost bins work?
Making your own compost can really be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. If you’re keen to start using a little homemade compost in your garden, or feel like you could do more with your fruit and veg scraps, adding a simple composter to your garden is all the equipment you need to get going.
It’s worth doing some research into how to get the most out of your compost bin though, as there is a knack to it. To produce good-quality compost, you need to ensure you feed your compost bin with both “green” material, such as garden clippings and kitchen waste, and “brown” material, like shredded cardboard or newspaper scraps. To keep outdoor bins free of rodents, kitchen waste should generally not include any dairy or meat products.
