What is the Purpose of a compost bin and why should I care?

The purpose of a compost bin is to contain compost for handy feeding,
aeration, turning, and distribution.

My local Waste Management Department is giving away a free compost bin if I
attend a seminar on composting.

Take advantage of this offer!

Is it possible to build a compost bin myself?

Sure. Search on "compost bin" or "building compost bin" -- bezillion
references on the web.

What has other people made
theirs out of?

Almost anything -- barrels with holes drilled in; chicken wire; old
fencing. Go to the seminar and ask questions.
