When a person is in possession of a fine compost heap, he can very well prepare his own mulch and thus can keep his yard to look good. To achieve all this, a compost bin is required. A compost bin has to be built to preserve all the organic matters that are added to the heap gathered in a particular place. The main concern of the compost bin is that all the materials are piled up in it and has no restriction for the flow of air to the materials inside. The best solution for this is to build a fence for making a compost bin.

The things that are required for the preparation of the compost bin are fence posts and the fencing. Let us now see the steps involved in making the compost bins.

Firstly, a good location has to be selected. Composting will work better only when the organic materials are allowed for touching the bare earth. This will benefit the user for a good composting since the microbes in the soil will take part in the process of decomposition.

Secondly, the fence has to be made by using the <!–more-memberlock–>welded wire or the chain link to make the compost bin. The chicken wire alone will not be sufficient for making the compost pile. A 25 feet roll and 4 feet tall fencing is required to make a good quality compost bin.

Thirdly, fence posts need to be purchased. These steel posts of T-shape can be easily fixed in the soil to give support to all the sides of the fences of the compost bin.

Fourthly, a square shape has to be made. Four places have to be marked on the spot of composting to fix the steel posts. These steel posts, after fixing, will end up with a square shape. Each side of the square should be of four feet length.

Now the steel posts have to be driven into the four marked locations. This can be done very easily by using the post driver. If the post driver is not available, then the two feet holes have to be dug and the fence to be planted.

Next, the fencing should be rolled out between the posts that are adjacent. The light gauge wire of the fence ties have to be used to connect the fencing and the posts. The process has to be repeated for all the four sides.

The last part of the fencing has to be cut for using it as a door for the compost bin. One edge of this has to be fixed with the fence ties and a rope or the chain has to be used for holding the other side.

Now the compost bin is ready for accumulation of the waste from the kitchen and the garden to make good compost for the garden.

The quick and the easy way of clearing the waste from the kitchen and the garden are composting. Preparation of own compost will yield better plant growth in the garden.

For making the garden compost it is a must to have the bin. The bin can be prepared or the same can be purchased. It is not necessary that the bin should be fancy. The purpose has to be served and hence it can be of any shape. But the compost can be well prepared if the bin is of the size of 5 feet wide and 4 feet depth.

It is always better to keep the compost bin in a location that is <!–more-memberlock–>handy and hence will not be necessary to walk several times to reach it. The compost bin has to be kept in a place of sunshine or otherwise a thermometer has to be purchased to measure the temperature of the compost bin. 1400 degree temperature has to be maintained for the compost bin.

A lump of dirt has to be piled up near the compost bin so that the same can be used whenever required for putting inside the compost bin.

A foundation has to be laid on the compost bin which can be made with 12” of grass clippings or even with the leaves of dead yard to the extent of 2 feet.

The waste from the kitchen and the garden like egg shells, coffee grounds, potato skins, tea bags, vegetables and fruits has to be accumulated in the bin. Greasy products and the meat should not be added into the compost bin.

When sufficient quantity of the waste from the kitchen and the garden is gathered over the foundation on the compost bin, then it is time to add the fertilizer, garden soil and half cup of limestone to this mixture.

Now the compost bin will be with the layers of foundation, waste from the kitchen and the garden, fertilizers, limestone and the garden soil. At this juncture, the compost pile has to be watered and moist temperature has to be maintained.

At last, the compost pile has to be turned which is a very important process. The turning of the compost pile should be done with a time gap of 15 days. Due to the rotation, bad organisms and the weeds that sprout in the compost pile will be killed. Thus the heat speeds up the process of decaying.

The process of adding up the waste from the kitchen and the garden has to be continued. The layer in the compost pile has to be followed. The turning of the pile once in 15 days to get good garden compost has to be done compulsorily. It is important to note that the stems with large diameter should not be put in the compost pile.
