How To Build a Compost Bin Utilizing Concrete Blocks

I've built several compost bins over the years and one of the best compost bins to build is the concrete block compost bin. With a concrete block compost bin, you don't have to worry about it cracking or rotting and if any of the concrete blocks happens to get broken, they are easy and cheap to replace.

To build a compost bin with concrete blocks, you want to start out with as level ground as possible and then start stacking the blocks into a three-sided square. You will have a back and two sides, leaving the front of the compost bin open so you can easily turn the compost. You can either interlace the blocks on the back corner or just butt the sides to the back,. The choice is yours as there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to composting.

Now that you know how to build a compost bin using concrete blocks, you're all set to start adding your compost materials.
