Where do I Put My Compost-Bin/Heap?

Whether you have purchased a composting unit, or made your own, you need to make sure you have a flat, well drained place in your garden - not so far away that you cannot be bothered trudging there, from the kitchen. Compost bins should not be placed on concrete, patio areas etc. as you want to allow the insects and worms access, as mentioned previously.
Also, choose a site which suits your climate. Warmth and moisture helps the composting process, so place your compost in a place which receives a fair amount of sunlight; and shelter from the wind if you live in a cooler climate, if in a hotter climate, ensure you give it shade to prevent it drying out.

 What is Compost?

Compost is the end result of the decomposition of organic material, or waste. This occurs naturally in the bush , or a forest, by the accumulation of debris from plant and animal material; and provided there is moisture present, either from rain, in the soil, or from the material itself, decomposition will occur.
With the assistance of microbes, bacteria, fungus, insects and worms - the organic matter is consumed, or broken-down, gently mixed, with the assistance of the worms and insects; and ultimately, transformed into an organically rich substance - readily assimilable by plants : the perfect fertiliser. In this natural setting, the actual transformation from raw material to compost, can take quite some time - as the process is reliant on the vaguaries of the climate and the availability of material.
Compost in urban environs, uses the same principles, with the added bonus of things being managed; and therefore a quicker process.
