Open air composters are a traditional method suited for those with garden space and the desire to handle larger volumes of organic waste. These composters often consist of a dedicated area or container where waste is turned by hand. Benefiting from natural aeration, open air composters allow for large batches of compost to be created over time.
They are ideal for gardeners who like getting their hands dirty and have ample outdoor space. This type of composting is less expensive and allows more room for creating custom compost blends by mixing different types of organic material.
