Composting is a natural process of organic matter breaking down. But we can speed the process up by manipulating the conditions. Even if it is just covering the compost heap with plastic or old carpet to trap the heat and moisture in. However, many people prefer to contain their compost. This looks neater and is easier to manage.
Compost bins can be home made or purchased.
There are various points to consider when buying or building your composter container. Strength A tough sturdy container is crucial. It has to be able to withstand continuous banging from garden forks and spades as you add, mix and remove your compost. If you need to move your composter around the garden, make sure it is not too heavy and is easy to lift. On the other hand, if it is too light and flimsy it will lose its strength.
