Grower’s Tip:
Shred or mulch ALL organic matter that you put into the bin. Smaller pieces will compost faster. In cold climates, add several dozen earthworms and cover with black plastic or a heavy tarp.

I really like these bins for their ease of use and low cost. They provide great aeration, and can be moved when you rebuild your pile. (I have used two side-by-side for several years.) The main downsides to these is that they are not critter-proof. My medium-sized dog was determined to snack on leftovers, and digging under as well as wire-bending proved rewarding for her. Works well in a fenced yard without large digging dogs.
