Carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables, hoses, rakes, shovels and watering cans are materials and tools that are needed to compost. There needs to be a location accessible to the compost manager and away from direct sunlight, traffic, wildlife and wind. It may take the shape of a counter container in the case of vermicomposting, or composting with worms, or of bins, heaps, piles or pits in the case of outdoor composting.
