Types of Composters
An Earth MachineTM backyard composter
Composting can be done in an open pile or in containers. Containers confine the compost pile and make it more manageable and visually attractive. They can also provide weather protection, aid in heat retention and help keep animals out.
Composters of various design and composition (wood, recycled plastic, wire mesh) are available from local hardware stores and garden centres.
Working composters are on display at the John Janzen Backyard Composting Education Centre, located beside Fort Edmonton Park. There is an attendant at the Centre who can answer any questions you might have.
