Compost bins come in all shapes and sizes.

City Farm, Southside CLT gardens, Urban Edge Farm and after-school Garden Club programs: they all share in common their accessibility to compost bins of varying capacity. Some of these include:

One huge, elongated composted heap

Compost tumblers (elevated from the ground, with a handle to turn and aerate your pile easily)

Rows of pallet composters

Plastic composter bins

A bucket with holes in the bottom

Whether you choose a to purchase a fancier compost tumbler, bin or indoor instant-composting system, we always recommend you use the correct 3-1 ratio and aerate.
