Compost Bin vs Compost Pile

1 Written by Andrew Commander on September 25, 2009 – 4:57 pm

Some people have the desire to be Eco-friendly, including myself.

Composting is an easy and effective way to cut down on trash. The benefit of composting is that you can take the compost out and use it around your garden or lawn.

So are you ready for composting?

You may not want to go through the effort of building a pile using cinder blocks, so maybe a compost bin or compost tumbler would be a better solution!

A compost tumbler is easier to manage and more time efficient.

The advantage of having a compost pile is that it has contact with more oxygen, allowing the compostables to break-up easier.

Composting is possible through the oxygen allowing the bacteria to break down organic items, and with the use of worms.

Some items that are compostable include

• Grass Clippings
• Leaves
• Food scraps
• Pond plants
• NO DOG POOP

The last item on the list may be the most important. You don’t want to be putting that back on your tomato plants in the spring!
