I'm looking for recommendations for some kind of compost "barrel" or container to compost food and yard waste. Right now I have a pile at the edge of my property where I just throw everything. It's unsightly and filled with tree roots, brambles and weeds of all kinds. I am at an age where I am looking for less work and less turning and digging.
It would be great if I didn't have to put it together but I realize that's just a dream.

I'm not much help, Rose - I do a lot of lasagna gardening so just plop my composting materials on top of whatever garden I am working on (I am slowly but surely moving into the property in back of me - it's been clear cut and there's no house or place for anyone to live). So I've a large lasagna garden (aka messy compost pile) close to the property line (on the OTHER side).

I actually bought a cheapie compost bin last year, but it sits in the garage, not put together yet.

Thanks, not sure if that would work for me, too many critters. And raccoons dug up some freshly planted pots last night because thee was some chicken litter in the soil mix.

Have you gone to the Soil and Composting forum? Lots of discussions on that one.

Thanks, I didn't register that there was one. I'll head over there.
