Help, my compost bin has fallen apart from old age and it is time to invest in something new. Since most tropical gardens produce a lot of compost I thought you folks might have some ideas for me.

My soil is heavy and crisscrossed with roots so burying the waste is not viable. Also, both the layout of my property and raccoons eliminates open piles. I need a sturdy bin.

There are so many new ones on the market, some with internal air chambers, some rotate, you name it. Has anyone had a good experience with a compost bin lately.
