Anyone have an Exaco Trading Aerobin 400 Insulated Composter and Self Aeration System?
JeannieC
We are looking for a composting bin with a small footprint that will
allow us to simply add materials on top and eventually get compost on
the bottom, without requiring any turning.
I came across the Aerobin 400 and it looks like it might be what we
are looking for. Wondering if anyone has one and what they think of
it. We'll be putting kitchen scraps, yard waste (from a small yard)
and chicken coop litter (chicken poop with probably wood shavings).
Here's the link to it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Exaco-Trading-Aerobin-400-Insulated/dp/B0036S643A
Open to hearing other suggestions too! We want it to be very easy to
take care of and access compost. i.e. put raw material on top, get
great compost from the bottom without having to turn or manage things
like moisture levels. And we only have a small spot for it.
Thanks!
Jeannie.

Interesting. I'm all for avoiding turning, but I'm not convinced that
that type of bins will really do the trick. In my experience a bin
fills up very quickly if you aren't doing any turning... and then it
takes forever for what is sitting there to decompose. And so, you
don't end up putting the majority of your food waste in your bin.
My neighbor just bought a tumbler, and I *think* this is the one:

although he can chime in to confirm (he's on this list!). This bin
intrigues me because the turning is as easy as turning the bin, and
that should lead to faster decomposition.

my experience is similiar
compost takes some level of management and care.
It is never just that easy!
