Home Compost Bins, A Healthier, Greener Way To Live

Home compost bins can be your answer to better living

. Why should you contribute to those already 'stuffed to the max' landfills when you can use kitchen garbage to save the world? Granted, this may seem like a small step, but if more people were to take the initiative to 'Make the Most out of Compost' it would be a major move in the right direction.

Recycling is one of the best methods you can use to help the environment. You may already recycle clothing, newspapers and plastic containers, so why not take it one step further? Instead of tossing leftover food scrapings into the trash or into your garbage disposal recycle them in a compost bin. Compost is also referred to as 'black gold' because of both its color and value for your garden.

With a compost bin outside your home you can have a convenient spot that is designated for your kitchen scraps and yard refuse. The use of home compost bins produces odor free, fertile compost that will enrich the soil in your yard, vegetable garden or the soil in your flower beds.

With home composting bins you are recycling food and yard waste into something useful. Not only is this composted material a way to help the environment it is a way to produce free soil amendments and fertilizer for your gardens.

Home compost bins are a wonderful alternative to wasteful habits of the past. When you use this nutrient rich material in your garden you will save money on fertilizer and the plants you grow will be bigger and better than ever.

We are not talking about those tacky, unsightly heaps of trash in your backyard. Today home compost bins can be clean, efficient, streamlined and pretty much odor-free.

Using the right combination of kitchen waste and lawn clippings can eliminate those odor problems often associated with piles of composting material. The modern design for these home compost bins also prevents odors, hastens decomposition and provides you with an attractive container that keeps composting material hidden from view.

Most of the kitchen scraps that you would normally discard can be added to your compost bin. Bread, coffee grounds and vegetables are perfect additions for any compost pile. Avoid putting meat scraps, bones and cooking oil into these bins because you will attract scavengers such as dogs, cats and raccoons into your yard.

The nitrogen that is found in eggshells, vegetable peelings and coffee grounds will be released during the composting process. This nitrogen will help speed up the natural decomposition of the various scraps and waste products that you routinely dump into your home compost bins.

You may need to add some water to your backyard compost bin on occasion. This will keep the decomposition process in high gear. Too much moisture could change your compost materials into a pile of mush. This is why purchasing those home compost bins with lids are such a good idea. The lid helps you control how much moisture makes its way into the bin and also helps keeps annoying insects at bay.
