I am interested in starting composting.
I would appreciate some advice on what type of bin to purchase and where to
get them.
There are only two of us in the house so we do not have a lot of kitchen
scraps but do have a LOT of oak leaves in the fall and grass cuttings in the
warmer months. I have a backyard vineyard which covers about 0.1 acre for
which I need to build up the organics and nutrients in the soil.



I really like the round wire bins. Get some 4' high "rabbit fencing"
which is much stronger than chicken wire. Use about 10 to 12 feet of
the fencing and fasten together using pliers. Cheap and easy. I
built 4 bins and they are are over 10 years old, still strong. You
can cut a "door" at the bottom of the bin, the same width as your
favorite shovel.
