Further to my article on making your own compost, I wanted to give you some recommendations on the best 5 static outdoor compost bins. These are designed for people who have some backyard space and can place one of these types of composters in a spot that is easily accessible.I have one of these types of composters in my own garden and love how simple they are to use. When selecting bins that I would recommend, my main aim was to ensure that the compost bin had lift up flaps at the bottom. This means that you can continue to add waste to the top but can harvest the finished compost from the base of the bin easily.
I was also keen to select compost bins that were environmentally-friendly and made from recycled materials. This means that not only are we practicing sustainable gardening by composting, but we're also selecting effective tools that help the environment by recycling materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.
After all, we don't purchase compost bins for their aesthetics but rather for their functionality. However, if you really don't like the look of the compost bin, you can always disguise it by enclosing it inside a fence or planting some nice shrubs around it. Just make sure that you still have access to the lift up flaps so that you can easily harvest the compost when you need it.
So, here are my top 5 choices.
Algreen Classic Compost Bin made from BPA free Recycled Materials with 2 Lift Up Flaps
