About these projects
What these guides cover
These guides cover the gear that makes composting manageable: a single slatted bin with a removable front, a three-bay station, a wire leaf cylinder, worm boxes, a tumbler, a sifting screen and a soil-mixing tray.
Each guide notes what the bin is meant to hold, how you get the finished compost out, and the checks to make once it is loaded.
