Contained resources, controlled inputs, convenient mobility, deterred pests, and tidy appearances are what is advantageous about composting in bins. For example, breaking down carbon- and nitrogen-rich compostable materials within a bin confers upon the compost-seeking gardener the knowledge of adding to -- not detracting from -- property beauty, the option of moving the vehicle in and out of a garage or shed if the spirit so moves, and the security of clustering resources in one pest- and weather-proof container.
