We all know how beneficial compost is for the garden, and making it yourself is a great way to reduce costs and recycle kitchen scraps and other waste. However, an unruly, decomposing heap isn't the prettiest of backyard features, and can spoil the overall look of your space. Even shop-bought, plastic bins can be a little unsightly – or at least, not add much in the way of aesthetic appeal.
Don't let that put you off the idea of homemade compost, though. With a touch of know-how, there are ways to give it a go and garden more sustainably without sacrificing on style.
