Locating a compost pile
As long as the above conditions are met, waste will turn into compost no matter how it’s contained.
Some folks set aside a portion of their yard or garden and simply build a pile on the ground. This, of course, won’t work for those who live in apartment or townhouses, so there are many commercial bins on the market. Compost bins can be built from recycled pallets, two-by-fours, plywood and chicken wire.
It all depends on how much material is expected to be composted, and how tidy or convenient the proposed composting space needs to be.
Some folks have a rotating system of three compost piles in various degrees of decomposition. These piles can be tucked away in bins, set up side by side.
Another alternative is trench composting: dig a trench about 8 inches deep for kitchen waste and after a few months, plant along it.
