Easy Outdoor Compost Bin

Many of you have asked what our favorite outdoor traditional composting bin is. Honesty, we still love our handmade one made out of upcycled palettes.


It is easy to turn and gets more air than our other plastic versions. Here is a simple video I found that will show how to get one set up one this fall. Then you can make some beautiful compost this winter for your spring garden. It will be here before you know it!
BTW, most companies will give you theirs because they have to pay to
have them hauled away!

Need more reasons to compost?


Some people need more reasons to compost. We see that as a challenge!

So we are happy to give you more reasons:

  1. It will save you time. You'll also eliminate the need to bag grass clippings or raked leaves.

  2. You will reduce your needs for fertilizer and water. Chemical fertilizers demand more water and garden will get more nutrients from the compost.

  3. You will reduce your effects on the landfill. Yard and food waste amount to more than 25 percent — or 60 tons — of the material in landfills. If more people start composting, a significant amount of waste then can be diverted from the landfill.
