I was searching for a compost bin, and I think I’ve found it: the Geobin Compost Bin. For those of you looking for a quick and easy solution that’s tidy and gets it done, I really think this one works.
Compost bins should be simple: it’s essentially a fence and some stakes. It needs to be sturdy and look neat. If neatness isn’t an issue for you, I highly suggest building your own bin out of some concrete mesh, or chicken wire, or anything really. As long as the material is contained and you can put a tarp over it, that’s all you really need.
The Geobin fits material up to 4 feet in diameter and a good 3 feet high, which is enough to create some serious heat with a good material mixture. For around 30 bucks I think this is a good deal. The materials are all plastic (of course), but it all seems pretty sturdy to me. It’ll be interesting to see how long the hardware lasts, but now I’m thinking it’s plastic so it doesn’t rust over.
Do you have one of these or something similar? What do you think of it?
On a side note, Amazon has the worst packaging practices ever…can you believe this? The box I got my bin in could have easily fit 8 of these things! Not cool at all, Amazon. It almost seems like it’s teasing me…the box says “rate my packaging” on it with a link to the site. I’ll keep you posted on that one…I can’t let this one slip!
