Video - Hot Composting Step-By-Step

Here is a video with step-by-step instructions for making a hot compost. If you don't have a lot of space, you can use a series of compost bins or tumblers as shown - these are smaller but easier to turn and don't take up as much room - in fact, you could easily fit several of these on a small patio. (Some examples of composting tumblers are shown below the video.)  (Note: If video does not appear below, click the link to view.)

Video - How to Build Your Own Compost Bin

Here is a helpful video on building your own compost bin - practically for free! If you don't have any tools, you may have to pick up a couple things, but they are pretty basic, and other than the staples and twine, if you follow some of his tips for finding materials for your bin, you may spend little or nothing on making this bin.  (He actually shows you a couple of different types of bins, as well as how to start the composting process.)

I particularly like the first bin he demonstrates because, as he mentions, the sides can easily be opened/removed if needed, to remove the finished compost, and it can also be taken apart and moved to a new location.

Check it out, and see how easy it can be to make your own compost bin!
