If you’re looking to get your feet wet in the compost game, outdoor composting is the best way to get started. Nature’s own way of recycling, outdoor composting is the simplest method of returning old materials back to the ground.
While outdoor composting requires less maintenance, indoor composting provides an easier option for those who don’t have access to a yard. Part of this accessibility comes from the fact that indoor compost bins take up very little space while also being able to work year-round.
Furthermore, because compost relies on heat to break down materials, the winter season can slow things down. Indoor composting is an excellent way to continue this process year-round without any environmental disruptions.
Compost piles need a precise amount of water in order to decompose effectively. Outdoor compost bins are no different. In order to save you multiple trips with the watering can, the ideal location to place your bin is within the reach of a garden hose. This will allow you to easily moisturize each additional layer of compost as you add to your bin.
An additional advantage of outdoor composting is that with extra space, you’re able to always have fresh compost on hand. This is done by creating a three-stage system that separates raw materials, mid-stage compost, and finished compost.
