How To Make A Compost Bin From Big Plastic Barrel

23 DIY Compost Tumblers To Make Composting More Fast & Easy - The Self-Sufficient Living

Building a simple DIY compost bin using just a plastic barrel! I start with a layer of stones for drainage, followed by dry carbon-rich material (mostly dry leaves), then a layer of plain cardboard (no ink), organic kitchen scraps like banana peels and veggie waste (no animal products), and finally layers of soil full of microorganisms to speed up decomposition. I finish with a top layer of soil and cardboard, water it all—and the composting begins! #CompostBin #DIYCompost #ZeroWasteLiving #Sust
