Not every spot in the garden is suitable for compost. Compost needs ideal temperatures for rotting to take place. In addition to the location, the subsoil also plays an important role.
The compost likes it warm and windless
Sheltered and warm location
Place the compost in a secluded spot in partial shade. It should be well protected from wind and rain so that optimal conditions are created for rotting inside. If you don't have any shady trees, shrubs or walls in your garden, you can plant tall species such as sunflowers or runner beans next to the compost. A thermal composter works best in a sunny location.
requirements for the subsoil
An open floor under the compost ensures water drainage. Waterlogging should be avoided, as this leads to the formation of rot. Meat and leftovers are organic waste that can be disposed of on the compost. Since they attract voles and rats, you should dispose of these leftovers in the household waste. A wire mesh on the floor helps against voles.
