    HI :) I've been planning to make a compost bin for a while now, but this week I finally have the time to do it! Problem is, that I'm not sure what kind of bin would be the best choice for a relatively small garden. I've read quite a few pages on the internet, but they all seem to be saying different things. If anyone has a compost bin or atleast knows what one would be the simplest, quickest, but effective option to make (OR BUY) please let me know :)
    Thanks loads!
