Designing a Compost Bin

Situate it on the OTHER side of your barn or garden windbreaks. Problem solved! g Barn? Here in the NJ suburbs I'd guess most people can see every inch of their yard from the house. Of course if you're already staring at a shed then you have a place behind it to put more man made clutter. I think Brooklyn has a good point about the compost being in contact with the ground. My pile is loaded with worms. I don't see how that could happen with a tumbler above the ground. The worms won't get in in the first place and when they do, no matter how deep they burrow, it's going to still be cold. The bins Brooklyn recommends are a step in the right direction, but I question the need to actually enclose the compost. The web site mentions keeping kids out. Where's the fun in that? Anyway, I'd need about a dozen of them. -- Dan Espen |
