You may wish to screen the area from view with a hedge or vine-covered fence. Most homeowners make compost in some sort of container or bin. You can make your own bin from wood, wire fencing, or concrete blocks. Or, you can choose to buy from the wide variety of ready-made bins and tumblers. It is the easiest but slowest way to compost.
Decomposition can take from six months to two years.
Wire rings are easy and fairly inexpensive to build. Over lap the ends of a wire cylinder by about 4 inches and secure with hooks or twists of wire. To speed up composting, undo the ring, set it up next to the pile, and turn the pile back into the cage in its new location. Bins are often made of light materials so that they can be taken apart easily and moved. Possible materials include old wooden pallets wired or tied together and wire framed in wood.
