What are the different kinds of compost bin available?
There's a huge range of compost bins to choose from to fit seamlessly into any style or size garden. By way of illustrating, one style of compact (and utterly adorable!) compost bin is commonly known as a beehive compost bin and is ideal for introducing into small gardens. This is because the lid will help to prevent any decomposing food waste smells from spoiling outdoor gatherings, while the visually-pleasing appearance of the beehive shape is a real crowd-pleaser. Alternatively, there's a wide variety of more practical compost bins that focus on maximising their capacity, paying little attention to their external appearance.
These types of compost bins are typically made from durable and weather-resistant plastic and can hold anywhere from 250 litres of compost up to an impressive 800 litres to cater to all gardening and compost requirements. If you prefer something more natural looking and have the space to place your compost bin far away from your outdoor entertainment space then open, wooden slat compost bins are well worth looking at. If the wood has been properly treated, they'll be rot-resistant too, so they'll easily withstand the unpredictable British weather. If you don't feel like taking regular trips outdoors, then why not check out our indoor compost bins? Compact and neat, they're perfect for flats and those with small gardens.
Where should compost bins be placed?
Ideally, compost bins should always be placed on earth or grass for the best results However, if you only have a small area of lawn that you want to conserve for outdoor events, compost bins can be placed on concrete, tarmac, or patio and paving slabs. However, you should take care to introduce a layer or two of twigs and pre-purchased compost to encourage insects and other garden creatures like to make it their home. Afterall, these creatures are vital to creating the perfect conditions for quick and efficient decomposition - speedily transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich soil.
