The compost likes warm and windless
The ideal location for the compost
Not every place in the garden is suitable for compost. The compost needs ideal temperatures for rotting to take place. In addition to the location, the substrate also plays an important role.
Protected and warm location
Place the compost in a remote location in partial shade. It should be well protected from wind and rain, so that optimal conditions for rotting occur inside. If you do not have shady trees, shrubs or walls in your garden, you can plant high-growing species such as sunflowers or runner beans in addition to the compost. A thermo-composter works best in a sunny location.
Conditions for the underground
An open floor under the compost ensures drainage. Waterlogging should be prevented as it leads to the formation of rot. Meat and leftovers are organic waste that can be disposed of on the compost. Since they attract voles and rats, they should be disposed of with household waste. Against a vole helps a wire grid on the ground.
