Default home composting

will i just be able to use a normal bin and put grass cutting and that
stuff and get compost out?


Yes but it will be too small to heat up so you will be doing cold composting
which is slower but works fine in the end. It will also have the
disadvantage that you cannot turn it easily. Make sure it doesn't get too
wet or it will go anerobic and stink. When it is full where will you put
your plant waste until the process is complete? Usually people have 2 or 3
heaps or bins. I don't know why you would put grass clippings in it.
