Compost bins assembled and positioned in your new garden. Set up properly on the right spot, ready to use, one less thing to sort yourself. Bring your old compost with you or start fresh - I'll get it organized either way.
### Getting Your Garden Sorted
You're in your new house and want to get the **garden functional** quickly. The compost bin that came flat-packed from your old place (or the new one you've just bought) is still in the shed, and you're not sure where to put it anyway.
Quick professional setup means it's ready to use, positioned sensibly, and you can get on with actually using your garden instead of looking at tasks.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Set up your compost bin early in the move. All those cardboard boxes and garden waste from clearing the new place will fill it quickly - better to have it ready.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Location Selection I look at your garden and help you choose the best spot - partial shade, on soil if possible, accessible but not in the way. ### Step 2: Assemble & Position If the bin's flat-packed, I assemble it. Get it level and stable in the chosen spot. Clear a small area of grass if needed. ### Step 3: Optional Transfer If you've brought compost from your old house, I can transfer it to the new bin. Good working compost is worth keeping.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Garden setup package?** I can combine compost bin setup with shed assembly, fence repairs, or other garden jobs. Get multiple things sorted in one visit. **Bring your old compost:** If you've got good working compost in your old bin, bring it with you. Saves months of building up new compost, and the organisms in it help start the new bin faster. **Multiple bins are better:** Two or three bins let you have one "cooking," one filling, and one emptying. Works much better than a single bin. **Council bins:** Some Devon councils provide subsidized compost bins. Check before buying - might save you money. **Exeter properties:** Lots of local gardens are on slopes - I'll make sure your bin's level even if your garden isn't, so the lid fits properly and it doesn't tip.
Frequently Asked Questions about Compost bin setup in Sidmouth
Can you set up any type of compost bin?
Most types yes - plastic bins that clip together, wooden slatted bins, tumbler composters, wormeries. Just let me know what you've got when you book.
Where's the best place to put a compost bin?
Ideally somewhere with partial shade (not full sun or full shade), on soil if possible (worms can get in), reasonably accessible from kitchen, and downwind of your seating area. I can advise on the best spot in your new garden.
Do I need to prepare the ground first?
Just needs to be reasonably flat and accessible. If you want it on soil (best for composting), I might need to clear a small area of grass - takes 5 minutes. If it's going on paving, that's fine too.
Can you move compost from my old bin to the new one?
Yes - if you've got good compost in your old bin that you want to move, I can transfer it. Working compost is valuable (takes months to create), makes sense to bring it with you if it's decent stuff.
How long does compost bin setup take?
Simple plastic bin assembly and positioning usually takes 30-45 minutes. Multiple bins or more complex setups might take an hour. Quick job but makes a difference to have it done.
