Creating fertile soil with plastic compost bins

Many people want to dispose of their vegetable garden and kitchen waste quickly and in an environmentally friendly way. For example, vegetable and fruit scraps, coffee filters, leaves and branches. One advantage of composting at home is that with the leftover, the compost, you have fertile material with which to fertilise your garden. Here, we tell you more about plastic compost bins, which you can use to make compost from organic waste. Thanks to its construction, you fortunately don't have to deal with any nasty smells.

The advantages of plastic compost bins

How does a plastic compost bin work? Fungi, soil organisms and bacteria quickly break down the natural material in the compost bin. Insects and earthworms also contribute to the breakdown. Plastic compost bins are often finished in muted colours, giving them an unobtrusive appearance. The bins have almost unlimited life, as they are resistant to salts and acids, the microbial action of compost, sunlight, water, rot and rodents. You can remove shelves at the front, making it easier to scoop over the compost. By scooping over the GFT waste, you promote rotting.

Odour-free composting and fertilising your garden

Compost bins made of plastic material are easy to assemble and expand with add-on modules. If you compost all your GFT waste yourself, you no longer need your green bin. This eliminates the need for the municipality to come by to empty this bin. You can also use your own compost to fertilise your bushes, trees and plants for free. Are you afraid of foul air in your garden? Sufficient oxygen reaches the waste through the sides of the bins, preventing an unpleasant smell. A roof ensures that the compost can still breathe and drains away rain.
