Default Composting Paper

My Mom has a standing composter and a rotating composter. I got my
standing composter about 2 weeks ago. She swears by her standing unit.
She says the rotating one gets goopy faster and she has to add dry stuff
more often.

I just ordered mine from Gardening.com:

It's called the Pyramid Composter. I'm happy with it so far.

I was told that the AAS uses soy-based inks so they would actually be

they would have nasty chemicals so I wouldn't use them.



Agreed. Seems like it would be difficult to avoid making paper
mache', anyway. When they composted the phone books a year or so ago
I suspect they used organic waste solids from a sewage treatment plant
in order to avoid creating a cellulose goop.

But to do this I would want one of the nicer rotating compost barrels.
Any recommendations? They appear to run in the range of $300 to $500.
