Thanks for all the tips. Not sure my yard is conducive to a pile. I have a smallish lot in a subdivision, so no real place to put a bin that wouldn’t be right up against a fence or my house. My backyard is also set up with a sprinkler system and the couple of spots that a bin may work would also require me to make some adjustments to that as well.

All this research has got me thinking next spring before growing season I should aerate my lawn and bring in a truck load compost to spread in the yard and rebuild my flower beds. Guess lawn research is part of the suburb life.

I started out composting and moved to worm bins. I personally prefer the worm bins. I've got 9 in my backyard now. I didn't like the tumbler. My mother bought one didn't like it and gave it to me. I didn't like it either.

Don’t discount the tumbler. It may only make small amounts of compost but they are super easy and work well. Dried leaves are easy to get for your brown. Throw all you vegetable and fruit scraps in there. You’ll get some mulch for a small garden. Especially over time.
