3 Rules for your backyard compost bin

Compost piles are essential for your home garden to produce high-quality, super delicious, and inexpensive food. Still, they’re one of the most underrated things in the garden.

To get started composting, follow these 3 steps:

1. Set up the foundation of the compost bin properly
2. Create a 3-bin system
3. Try to compost everything!

I had some friends house sit my property in Colorado while I was away in Puerto Rico. Well, they decided to build a compost bin for the property rather than tossing food scraps. I really appreciated the gesture and effort they put into this project. The system they created was great and the choice to using palettes was perfect. However, they made a classic mistake! I figured given this common mistake and my need to rework their design that this was a great opportunity to make a video and clear things up.
