Compost box is setup.
 

I set up my compost box. But I discovered something interesting. A lot of
the leaves and grass I put in Contractor garbage bags last summer and fall
were composting already. In the bags. They got a lot of water in them
from the rain. And the centers were barely warm, but the bottom water had
froze. There was a bit of stink.

Makes me think I could compost in garbage bags easily. Right from my lawn
mower. And save money on compost bins.

One reason to have a cage is to allow air in, this helps the aerobic
microbes do their work. Using a bag or other closed container will
encourage anaerobic bugs which are the ones that smell particularly bad.
