What is the optimal size of a
composting system?
- The bigger, the better.
- Long and narrow.
- About 3 feet high by 3 feet long by 3 feet wide.
You are correct! The answer is "c. About 3 feet high by 3 feet
long by 3 feet wide."
The ideal size of the backyard composting pile in a
bin is about one cubic yard (3' x 3' x 3'). If you generate more than one cubic yard of
material, consider using more bins, rather than larger piles, which may compact and
restrict air flow. |
