Default Compost Bins

Having down-sized garden, I no longer need the 2 large compost
containes that I left behind.

I'm wondering about one of these plastic conical bins, put it
in at the top, shovel it out at the bottom.

Do they really work well, or will I need 2 of them (I'm not
thinking of the heated type).



I have a couple which I top up on a regular basis. They don't make
compost particularly fast except in the hot summer weather. I put mine
on bare soil and get lots of beneficial worms in the top layers of the
rotting material.

your council may subsidise the cost
