Don't we all wish we had this much space for our compost bin. I have this exact same bin in a slightly different context: an urban back yard.

How to keep critters out: NO cooked food, no eggs, no bread, no meat, no rice...only the choppings from your vegies and fruit and again...all those coffee grinds mixed with leaves from the yard, a few newspapers, corn husks, vegies left in the fridge too long.

Bins: Amazon has a good selection. I will post some favorites. I will also address the east coaster dilemma of what to do when everything freezes....keep listening.
