Going Green: The Best Composter For Your Garden
Composting is the number one secret of green thumb gardeners. Composting not only recycles and reuses organic matter and kitchen and yard waste, it is also a great way to go green and do your part to help the environment. Composting your yard waste alone can reduce the amount of yard waste hauled to the dump by 50 to 75.
The best type of composter to buy for your garden depends on many factors. In truth, you don’t even need a composter at all and can make a simple compost pile in an out-of-the-way corner of your property, or use a method like trench composting. These methods work great and are fine to use if you can’t afford a composter.
There are many options to build your own composter, and plans to make one from wire or old wooden pallets are readily available online.
If you wish to go the store-bought route, there are many different types of composters available, from simple wire bin composters, wood and wire worm bins, plastic barrel composters and the ultimate in fancy drum tumbler composters.
The tumbler drum composter offers the ultimate advantage of making less hands-on work and faster composting times, simply give it a spin once a week or so for fast and efficient composting.
