A Simple Explanation of Cheap Compost Bins

!±8± A Simple Explanation of Cheap Compost Bins

The cheapest way of course is to make your own. It could be made out of anything. Simply put a compost bin is just a container for your compost. You can use old rubbish bins, nail together a bunch of wooden planks, dig a hole in the ground, you name it. It does take a bit of time and effort though. Most of the time these homemade bins work well enough but don't look too pleasing to the eye.

Why spend so much time to build your own compost bin if you have the money for it. You could spend a day or two to construct your own, but it won't look pretty. If you are as concerned as me about how your composting system looks as well as how it works, I am sure that you won't want to waste time making a bin which works well but looks ugly. How will you be proud to show of to your neighbors your composting system?

You don't have to spend a whole lot of money for a cheap compost bin, if your budget is around 100 dollars or less you can find a decent one which will work for your needs.

The most affordable ones are Enclosed Type composting bins. They are usually small and have lids. One of the ones I see many people using is an Exaco ECO-2000 composter. It is small and can fit easily inside a kitchen. It comes with a carbon filter over the lid so it neutralizes the bad odors coming from the decomposing waste. It has a pleasant exterior design and a rotating handle for easy lifting. You can even buy multiple replacement filters so you don't have to worry about the smell overpowering the filter. The filters themselves last for a few months and are very easy to replace.

This bin is designed specifically for indoor use in the kitchen. Place it under your sink or near your trash can so it is easy to dump your organic waste inside without having to spend lots of time sorting through your rubbish later. Coffee grounds and fruit peels are very good for composting, though later on you will have to mix in some green matter such as leaves or grass clippings to balance out the nitrogen content.

At times when you feel you are ready to move on to a larger bin you can consider the soilsaver composter or the eco tumbler composter but these will be more pricey. I would suggest to compost kitchen scraps in an enclosed container then move outdoors to a homemade larger bin or one of the more expensive plastic composting bins.
