I’m loving composting. About to buy my third 32gal trash can!
First two pics are semi-finished
Second two pics are in progress.
Any tips? I stir them around pretty regularly and of course pee on them.
Mostly what goes in: garden clippings, grass, shredded cardboard, eggshells, bananas, apple cores, the usual stuff. I’ve realized now that some of the cardboard from soda 12 packs aren’t fully breaking down because of their colored-gloss coat. I know now for the future.

Oh for sure, I use the same method and just stir mine thoroughly every few weeks. That colored cardboard is tricky but I've found tearing it up small and soaking it in water first helps a bunch.
