Soil Saver Classic Compost Bin

The Soil Saver Classic is designed to sit directly on the ground, which allows beneficial microorganisms and worms to access your compost pile. We recommend placing it on level soil or grass to ensure proper drainage and stability.

Assembly is straightforward and typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The panels snap together, and you will only need basic tools, if any, to secure the structure.

Because this is a static bin, you will need to manually turn the compost using a pitchfork or a compost aerator tool. The flip-top lid provides easy access, making it simple to reach inside and mix the contents periodically to speed up the decomposition process.

Yes, the bin is constructed from weather-resistant plastic designed for year-round outdoor use. While it is durable, we recommend keeping it in a spot that avoids extreme wind exposure to maintain its structural integrity over time.

The aeration holes are essential for airflow, which is the key to preventing anaerobic conditions that cause bad smells. As long as you maintain a good balance of 'greens' and 'browns' and keep the pile properly aerated, the bin will remain relatively odor-free.
