Are you looking for the ultimate composting tool that’s insanely affordable and incredibly simple to use?
Enter the Geobin compost bin.
I’ve been composting for over ten years and have tried everything from bins and tumblers to buckets and worms, from balconies and backyards to the basement and back- This is by far my favorite composter available.
If you’re looking to get started composting with the least amount of effort while getting quality compost in return, the Geobin is the one for you.
I’ve cut my waste in half by composting, and the Geobin allows me to do it with ease in under ten minutes a week.
The Geobin is adjustable up to 4′ in diameter and 3′ high, which is enough capacity to ensure the effective and efficient hot composting that you’re looking for.
I will take a compost bin over any compost tumbler due to its high capacity, low cost, and ease of use. Personally, I love tools that save me time, and this one does it.
If making a compost bin out of pallets or chicken wire isn’t for you, this is the next step up in terms of aesthetics, cost and top functionality.
Cut your waste sent to the landfill in half while creating a highly useful soil enhancer with the Geobin compost bin.
BONUS: With your purchase of the Geobin compost bin, I will throw in a free copy of my new e-book, “Tyler’s Dirty Little Composting Secrets“! In this book, you’ll learn all my top tricks to make composting a snap in no time.
The book is focused on achieving results using a compost bin, and I personally use two Geobins… in other words, the book and the Geobin go hand in hand!
Want to create fertile soil while becoming a more environmentally responsible citizen? This is your ticket.

How do I remove the compost? Do I have to somehow dig to the bottom of the pile and retrieve the finished product? Newb here.
If you have a Geobin, fill it up for at least 6 months if you can (I do a year). Start your second pile once it’s done, and let the first one sit untouched for as long as it takes to fill the second one. Open the clasps (or unthread the plastic screws if you have an older one) on the first one when your second one is full. Pull everything out. The majority should be finished compost, and take the outer edges that aren’t fully broken down and use them to start your new pile.

Tyler, I am such a visual learner. Could you please do a video regarding the “finished” compost? Not understanding “Pull everything out.” Thanks!
“Pull everything out”? I screen my compost by first running my hands through it and removing any larger pieces that clearly don’t belong or aren’t finished… for example I’ll grind up clumps of leaves/material in my hands to break them down. Besides that, I use a large basket with 1/2″ holes and dump everything through that, one shovel full at a time.the stuff that makes it through the screen will go towards my herb garden- the remainder will go back in the compost bin to break down more.
you could cut a door of about 1ft x 1 ft at the bottom of the bin and after it has been cooking down for a while you can pull the more broken down materials from the bottom while continuing to add more inputs to the top. This makes it more of a flow through system.
I could, but I’m in no hurry to get compost… I have a door on my trash can system though.
Any ideas on dealing with tree roots that love all that compost goodness and grow up into a pile and make it into a dense inverted clump of roots? I want to have my bin directly on the ground for temperature and moisture stability, and to let the wee beasties and worms have free passage to and from the pile, But trees in the area eventually find the bin and send roots up into it by the time it is matured it is a hard mass of inverted tree roots. I like my piles in the shade of trees and do not want to have to run to the treeless fields. Any ideas.
Have any pictures of this?
How do you keep out pests? I have raccoons, possums, iguanas, not to mention roaches and ants. I love the simplicity of these bins, but do you have any pest control ideas? I could keep them under my pool screen though the aesthetic isnt ideal, but is there odor?
Thanks so much for your help!
The key to pest control is simply burying your food scraps in the center of the pile, and adding twice that amount in cover material. I also have a few inches of cover material that stays on top at all times. Also, keep your bin away from any corners or walls (unlike me- I just don’t have any other space to put it). If it’s up against a wall, this makes a great spot for critters to live behind it and find their way in… if that’s a bad thing.
I have the same problem. I thought contact w/the ground would attract the earthworms too. I ended up introducing alot of tiny tangled roots growing in my garden. It got bad! This time i have a bottom. I figure can always hunt for earthworms and put them in.
