The Container
You've picked a suitable place for your compost, but what do you want to keep it in?
There are many different methods of composting, traditionally ranging from an open pile in your backyard, to an inexpensive self-constructed bin, to a shop bought plastic bin. Pick whichever method works best for you and your situation.
Open Pile
Self Constructed Bin
Shop Bought Plastic Bin
Obviously the most expensive way to start, but if you shop around, there are some good deals. Also a lot of local authorities subsidise composting and sell them much cheaper. If you want compost fast or wish to compost food scraps, you should consider purchasing or constructing a bin, preferably with a lid. Bins contain your compost pile and help to beautify its appearance. With or without a bin you'll still get compost, it happens naturally.
