The compost bin has a hinged lid which prevents pests from getting inside, as well as a removable base panel for easy extraction of compost when it is ready to be used. The slatted frame allows for high airflow and ventilation, which helps to encourage the decomposition process. For all you newcomers to the world of composting, here’s an informative video on the basics for you to watch: Good ventilation is important for the material inside your bin to break down into compost. If there is insufficient air flow, there’s a good chance that you’ll end up with some stinky sludge rather than beautifully moist and fertile compost. However, if the holes, gaps, etc. in the bin are too large, you might find it more difficult to keep the temperature inside the bin high enough, so balance is key. Just compare the plastic bin in the following image with the two from the earlier photo. Can you see how this one has been designed to allow proper ventilation? Good ventilation on a compost bin is absolutely critical Cost Although simple at first glance, this compost bin has some nice little features that aren’t commonly found on such products. For instance, there are little plastic feet for the bottom tray to sit in that are designed to trap ants, and the ‘M-board’ that’ll prevent the tray bedding from dropping into the liquid and also help with ventilation.A wooden beehive design is both attractive and discreet, so you can keep the waste matter hidden while it goes through its decomposing process. The design also allows for sufficient airflow, which helps with decomposition. Specifications It is a good idea, especially if you live in a cooler area, to look for a sunny spot in your garden, so the bin will receive heat from the sun to speed up the composting process. Lastly, worms and other certain creatures play an important part in creating compost, so setting up your bin directly on the soil is always better than on concrete. There are even special compost bins called ‘wormeries’ that are specially built to encourage those wiggly wonders to work their magic. One of the best examples of this is the VermiHut Plus. Planting mint nearby is also a possible rat deterrent – rats and mice apparently don’t like the smell, so it is definitely worth placing a plant or two near your bin.
