I’ve been thinking hard on starting a compost bin. Think I’ll start a little smaller. Now do you mix it up once in awhile?  If so how often?  2 $DEGEN.

Thank you for so much information. I’m definitely going to try it.

With compost, you want to prevent it from going anaerobic, meaning that the air supply is cut off.  It will have a foul stench and bacteria will begin to flourish.  You want to turn it frequently to keep it aerobic.  I typically do this 1-2 times per week, but depending on various factors it may not be that frequent.  

A small one is fine, but ideally you want it at least 3 feet at the deepest point.  This is so when it heats up, it will basically kill bad bacteria and hasten the decomposition process .

Also keep in mind there is a large margin for error in all this!  So there is room for experimentation and for making mistakes:)
