Homemade Insulated Composter
Use our DIY plans to keep your compost toasty.
Follow these steps to make your own homemade insulated composter.
1. Using a sharp utility knife, cut the bottom out of a plastic trash can.
2. Poke or drill holes around the sides of the can, 6 to 12 inches from the top, for ventilation.
3. Dig a 1-foot hole and sink the can into it.
4. Insulate the aboveground part of the can with straw bales, packing dried leaves into the gaps.
5. Put a few scoops of soil or compost in the bottom, and layer brown and green ingredients as they become available. Keep the lid tightly closed between additions.
