Widely Popular: Compost Barrels
|
There are a number of brands and types in the market, so be sure to shop around before you buy. They do come in a variety of sizes, and proper placement in your yard also needs to be considered. You’ll want to make sure the compost is semi-shaded, and on even and dry ground.
If you don’t find a commercial version you like, compost barrels can be a great spring afternoon project. They are easy and inexpensive to build from any garbage can—just make sure it has a tight cover. You’ll also need some sawdust, straw or wood chips to fill the bottom after you drill some holes for leaching. Compost barrels can also be mounted: “tumbling” versions help aerate the waste material to produce compost faster.
Compost barrels result in an effective waste reduction for your household. Within a couple of months, you’ll have fertilizer for your lawn, garden or flowerbeds. Plus, you’re doing your part for the environment by saving space in landfills.
