Default how to start a compost?

You don't need a bin or any other kind of container.


You don't *need* a bin, but they sure are nice to contain the whole mess. If
you have limited space, a worm box is preferable. I wouldn't have a compost
heap where I have our worm box. It would be too annoying to the neighbors.


I agree that bins are a good idea to contain everything. I also like to
use bins that have solid (not wire) sides. They heat up faster and keep
the smell in. Also, a lid (or something that covers the top) helps in
those respects too.
