There are different kinds of composter bins available for different kinds of bio waste: eg. garden, kitchen, and toilet waste. Also, the amount of bio waste produced and the need for year-round composting steer the choice.<\/p>","lead_p_hidden":"
However, the choice of the composter is not so crucial as often thought. To the quality of the compost and the speed of the process it is just as important how the compost is taken care of.<\/p>\r\n
Some tips for picking your composter model in the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As the amount of garden waste is usually large, the composter should be large enough as well, preferably over 400 liters. The composter bin or frame can be open from the bottom and top.<\/p>\r\n
If you are a \u201chandyman\u201d a garden composter can be done quite easily from eg. wooden pallets. It may be necessary to have several bins and practice batch composting; ie. have one composter in active use and another which is decomposing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
All kitchen waste should be composted in a closed bin which is rodent-safe. If you are using the composter all year round, it is best to choose an insulated composter. To get the composter work through winter, it will require regular maintenance: adding waste, mixing and using biodegraders. It is quite common that the composter freezes, but usually you can get the process going at spring and no harm is done.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
