Compost bins aren’t only those that magically transform kitchen and garden scraps into delicious food for the garden. We’ve sleuthed around for some that are a little different than the standard. Compost bins that are unique, but functional like a standard compost bin.
These bins address a variety of composting needs – from the classic to worm to an indoor compost design. And we love the edge most of these bins have. We think there’s basically something for everyone in this short list of cool compost bins. So, if you are looking for a new compost bin, we suggest checking out these seven picks.
1. Soil Saver Classic Compost Bin
