About this deal

Design & setup. Looked at ease and clarity of instructions, siting restrictions, and how well the design worked and extra features.

compost bins, composters for all of your composting needs! Garden compost bins, composters for all of your composting needs!

Moisture is important for making good compost and it should always be damp, not wet, not dry, just damp. You also need to turn over the contents of your compost bin using a garden fork, spade, or shovel every few weeks. Alternatively, you can buy a tumbler compost bin like the Squeeze Dual compartment model that’ll make this part of the process easier. Transform your kitchen and garden waste into nutritious, valuable feed to enrich your soil and nurture your garden with the UK's best selling compost bin.Effective composting also requires heat, which, conveniently, is produced by the decomposing process. A solid compost bin is better at keeping rats out than a pile, so if you have a problem with rats in your pile then consider moving it all into a bin. The main drawing point for this compost bin though, is that it’s so easy to mix up your compost. There’s no struggling to get your tools in there, or having to unclip hatches or sections of the bin, all you need to do is spin the barrel around 6-7 times and you’re good for a few days. Even when both sections are full, it isn’t hard to turn the bin due to the lower capacity. On the plus side, the dual compartments mean that you can have 2 batches of compost on the go at different stages of decomposition, which can come in very handy for certain purposes. The bin holds heat well too, and there are multiple vents for airflow and also drainage points for excess water. In this detailed buyer’s guide, we’ll explain how to use a compost bin, how a compost bin works, discuss the different types of compost bin available to you and compare them, as well as providing any information we deem necessary or of interest to you. Why should I use a compost bin?

Apart from that, I have nothing to complain about. This setup is made from sturdy materials, you get everything you need apart from the worms and food scraps, and the price isn’t too bad at all for this kind of product. Definitely worth some consideration. Pretty much anything else goes, as long as it is organic material. Q: How to get rid of rats in a compost bin?

I really like the fact that the designers have thought about how the customer will fill this large bin up, and given it a split lid that opens up into a wide access point, perfect for shovelling stuff in without losing half of it on the ground. This is something that I felt the Squeeze tumbler could have done with.The lower access hatch isn’t quite as big as the lid, but still a practical size and you won’t struggle to remove the compost once it’s fully cooked. Composting waste, instead of binning it, will help to save you space in your kitchen and garden. By doing this, we reduce and recycle waste, which is better for the environment.

As standard, this bin can hold up to 110 gallons, or 420 litres, that’s 100 more litres than our best overall compost bin. But that’s not all, if you want to increase the size of the DF Omer, there is an extension section you can buy and this brings the max capacity to 172 gallons. Leftover onions are also reported to keep rats away, so it is worth placing one or two of these around to repel rodents. Where you place your compost bin can also play a part in how well it does its job. Big variations in temperature are not ideal for composting so I always try to set my compost bins up in a sunny or lightly shaded spot where the temperature remains fairly steady. The soil fence prevents rodents and small animals to climb up into your garden composter. Which product do I need? Bin/soil fence.

A good ratio to start with, that has been proven to produce good results, is 40/60 green and brown material, put down in alternating layers. Having said that, I personally go with a ratio that is higher in carbon (brown material) as bacteria use more of it than nitrogen to create good compost. Having said that, I also tend not to be so scientific and just inspect my compost regularly to see if it needs more nitrogen or carbon adding. If there’s a strong smell, and it looks too wet, I add more brown material, if it looks too dry, I add more green stuff. The downside to this type of compost bin is that the things you put into it don’t mix together very well, so you can either turn it over with a fork occasionally, or invest in a compost bin with a tumbler built in. Q: What can I put in my compost bin? Introducing the most simple way to recycle and reuse food waste at home. Prepare all meat, fish, da... Meat and dairy are sure-fire rodent attractors, so you should always avoid putting these things in your bin.

Despite these compact dimensions, this Easipet compost bin can actually hold a decent amount of material- 328 litres, and because it’s made of good quality wood, you don’t have to worry about the bin getting misshapen or warped out of shape if you fill it right up. This is something that puts me off filling plastic bins to the max.A larger caddy ideal for collecting food waste, the Straight 23 Litre Brown Caddy is specifically d... If you’re just starting out your journey towards reducing your carbon footprint, then the Whitefurze 220L Compost Bin is the ideal option for first timers. The 220 l capacity is more than enough for small to medium homes with average waste and garbage. If you don’t want to spend a lot on a Hotbin, your other option for creating a lot of compost is simply to go big, and this DF Omer plastic compost bin is certainly that. If you’re feeling a little lost when it comes to choosing your very first compost bin, or just about the composting process in general, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Many customers prefer having two compost bins as it also gives you a place to store finished compost to use in the garden as and when needed. What size should a compost bin be?
