So, I'm beginning my composting trial.
The location that the compost pile/bin is placed is very important.
I have mine along the side of our house, which is sheltered from wind.
The Earth Machine Composter is meant to be a "Hot Compost", which if done right, will heat up the contents leading to compost. Hopefully, the composting works, but unfortunately I won't know for about 3-6 months.
If you live in the city of Costa Mesa, they have an amazing program to start composting! For $20, they will give you the Earth Machine composter and kitchen pail. They will even set you up with a worm composter which I have yet to do, but am toying around with the idea.....

The kitchen pail is a perfect size which fits under the sink. It has a snap top lid, so it does not smell or attract flies.
