How to Compost
Closed bin
Court5Composts uses closed bins to prevent the spread of coconut rhinoceros beetle. This method keeps other critters out, too.
Composting in a bin basically involves mixing your compostables together in something like a large trash can, a horse trough, or some other enclosed container and letting nature do its thing. You're going to want to do this outside, but you don't need a ton of space. Ideally, you'll have at least two bins going at a time.
