Whilst the majority of the compost bins out there have solid sides, this Metal Wire Mesh Compost Bin from GR8 Garden is a little different. You can still use it for garden and kitchen waste, but this style of compost bin is primarily designed to hold leaves. When the leaves break down, they create a nutrient-rich leaf mould that’s perfect as a soil conditioner.
I have several mature deciduous trees around my farm and, up until now, have always made leaf mould by gathering the leaves into perforated black bin bags. However, this GR8 Garden bin seems to offer a more eco-friendly, yet equally effective, alternative.
