Build a Composter

Rather than purchase a commercial composting bin made of plastic or wood, some people prefer to build their own. A number of designs are provided in the links below.

Also included are instructions for indoor composting with worms, winter composting, making compost tea and working with leaves.

All the instruction pages are in easy-to-print format.
