For last some months I saw that Mr. Raymonds garden was flourishing and his plants were looking fresh and just couldn t let my eyes of them. And looking at my garden it looked dull. Talking to Mr. Raymond he said that he was using home made compost and he had chosen one of the compost bin plans and built a compost bin of his own. If you are planning to improve your garden by using the composting process then go on the internet and choose a compost bin plan according to your budget and quantity of waste you have to use.
First learn what is compost? Compost is a process of the decaying of waste organic matter which is done by micro organisms in the presence of air and water. A compost is prepared fast with a balanced environment. And to prepare this compost we can build a compost bin at home by following the methods as shown under the compost bin plans on the internet or buy a ready made bin from the market. First decide what type of a compost bin plan you choose.
Online you can find that there are many compost bin plans available. Compost bins can be made by using many materials like wood, plastic, concrete. Some compost bin plans are simple to follow but some are complex, so take into consideration that you have a skill to build a compost bin.
If you are living in a city then an enclosed compost bin plan should be preferred. An enclosed bin keeps the organic matter moist and helps to keep the pest away. It also decomposes the matter fast. It can be kept near the kitchen for you can easily drop your wastes. It does not spread odor. You can use your old trash can or build one with a net fitted in a wooden frame. These small enclosed bins are portable.
Where as if you choose an open compost bin plans it will require space. Its advantage is that it can be kept near the water source and it is easy to mix with a shovel compared to an enclosed compost bin.Its disadvantage is that rodents turn the wastes and litter the place. There will be presence of decayed pungent odor in the air.
But if you want a compost bin for big restaurants, universities, hostels, wedding party plots etc. a large enclosed bin is to be chosen from the compost bin plans. The compost bins come with handles to mix the matter and are kept on raised platforms, which help to collect the compost in a wheel barrow. They are expensive but can provide your garden with rich compost. If you have more quantity of compost left you can sell it in the market. The waste from the kitchen and your garden will be reduced to 80% every week. And thus your waste will be recycled .
In the compost bin plans worm composting is also mentioned. Worms are put on a bedding in the compost bins and kitchen wastes are put in the bin. The worms eat these wastes and produce worm castings, which are rich in nutrition. Thus compost bin plans help in recycling wastes and keeping the environment free from pollution.
Compost bin plans help to produce something Best from Waste.
