Where do they put compost?

Answer 1

Since I live in a small apartment building, I compost on the roof in clear 19 gallon plastic tubs, with the tops cut off, trimmed to fit over the lower part, and onion bag material covering the open spouts to keep insects out, yet oxygen in.

I call these Solar Composters, since the trapped heat of the sun speeds up the decomposing going on inside.

Tubs like these also look attractive anywhere in the vegetable or flower garden. Just remove the bottoms so juices can drain down into the soil and attract and feed our friends, the earthworms.

Add water occasionally to produce extra " juice ".

Answer 2

Some where out of the way.

A place that does not get a lot puddling from rain.

Answer 3

You want to place your bin in an area where it will get the most sun and keep it away from trees (their roots will leach the nutrients out of the compost, if it is touching the ground).

Answer 4

A compost bin should be in full sun, away from trees. The tree roots will leach the nutrients from the compost, if it is touching the ground.
