What? How? Where? When? |
|
How long does it take to make compost in my bin? This is dependant on a number of things. The general rule is about a year. The more you put in your bin the more rapidly the material will compost. Also the warmer the weather the faster it will compost. So in a warm climate it can take as little as 6 weeks and under cooler conditions it can take up to 12 months to produce compost. If you can place your bin in a sunny spot it will further help to speed it up, though this is not vital. You will notice that the process slows right down during the winter months, however it is important to carry on using your home compost bin during this time. A bin that contains a good balance of browns and greens chopped into smaller pieces with good aeration and moisture will decompose a lot faster than when one or all of these factors have been ignored. |
