Composting Summer '10

I have been using a homemade composter for about 1.5 years now. Simple in design, just a garbage can with the bottom cut out placed upside down in a shallow hole in the ground, it made some great compost as evident by these pictures (garbage can removed to show contents):



Now I've upgraded to an EnviroCycle Compact Composter. I am hoping that the benefit will be more readily available compost (and compost tea) than I had from the above method. Before, I had to dismantle and move the pile from spot to spot. The other benefit is that now the composter is situated on my cement walkway, not taking up any precious gardening space in my small yard.
