How to make a compost bin from concrete slabs? Here’s our advice
A compost bin made from concrete slabs is a reliable solution. The entire structure is durable enough that we can use it for a long time. A concrete compost bin allows us to produce fragrant compost soil rich in nutrients. Soil of such high quality will significantly improve the quality of our harvest — without any additional investment! How do you build a compost bin from concrete slabs? The foundation plays a particularly important role here. We decide for ourselves how deep our compost bin should be. A solidly built foundation means stability for the entire structure. Concrete slabs of the highest quality are perfect for this purpose. However, lifting this type of material on our own may be beyond our capabilities; they’re simply heavy. So how can we handle this task? A vacuum lifter, offered to customers by Catchshift, can help us. These are reliable devices that significantly reduce strain on the spine while also working with great precision.
Building a compost bin from slabs — what’s next?
We can build the walls of our compost bin from concrete blocks. This material is relatively light, so we won’t need any additional equipment during this process. Perforated bricks also work great: they provide the airflow necessary for proper compost maturation. The process of building a concrete compost bin from slabs is simple enough that practically any allotment gardener can do it. However, it’s worth emphasizing how important it is to find the right location. What should you keep in mind? Above all, our compost bin shouldn’t be located too close to a body of water — the resulting fertilizer shouldn’t come into contact with it! For the same reason, the trench for the compost bin must be much shallower than the depth of our well. A concrete compost bin should also be placed in the shade. Scorching sun can prevent the decomposition processes from taking place, which are so important for creating compost; shade will therefore be the best location.
