Best outdoor compost bins – Reviews<\/span><\/h2>

When you hear the word composting, the image that comes to mind might be a heap of waste outside either in a pile or in a bin. You might even think of bad smells, hungry animal pests, and back-breaking work because you have to turn the pile manually every so often. However, it doesn\u2019t have to be that way with these outdoor compost bins.<\/p>

1. Good Ideas Compost Wizard Dueling Tumbler<\/span><\/h3>
\"Good<\/figure>

Starting off our list is this tumbling compost bin from Good Ideas. Its dual compartments let you process two batches of compost at a time; while one batch decomposes and matures, you can add new material to the other chamber. Made of recycled plastic, each compartment can hold 25 gallons of composting material for a combined capacity of 50 gallons.<\/p>

Less hassle. <\/strong>Because it\u2019s a tumbling compost bin, you don\u2019t have to dig through the compost itself to aerate it. You\u2019ll only need to give the compost bin a little spin to mix up the material.                                                                                                                                                                           <\/p>

Collects compost tea. <\/strong>Unlike most tumbling composters, this model from Good Ideas also collects compost tea, a natural liquid byproduct of the composting process. When diluted, it can be used as a liquid fertilizer.<\/p>
