Where to Keep Your Composter?

!±8± Where to Keep Your Composter?

Many people want a composter so they can do something useful with their organic waste. One of the biggest issues people have is figuring out where to keep their composter. They can be rather unpleasant smelling, so you may not want them somewhere where you will be around them all day.

The first thing you need to figure out is how much space you have to keep a composter in. Most of the time, as long as you have a space available, you can find a composter to fit in it. Some people even keep a tiny compost bin under their kitchen sink, although this isn't usually preferred.

Outside is usually the best place for a composter. Many people keep them in their backyards away from the house. If you have some land and animals, you can place it wherever it is going to be most convenient for you to put wastes into it. This may be close to the house, or out by a barn. Place it near wherever the most organic waste is going to come from.

If you have a shop building, this might be a good place for the composter. If there is decent air flow and you don't mind the earthy smell the bin will give off, you can place it in some kind of outbuilding like this. This may actually make it easier for the composting process to continue even though the coldest parts of the winter.

For people who live in an apartment and don't have a lot of space for their composter, you can get a small one and set it on your porch or balcony. As long as you have room to "turn" the compost, you should be fine.

You can find a place to keep a composter just about anywhere. You may just need to get a little creative.
