  1. We use a three bin compost method, built by The Great Dane. I always have a load of garden gold ready for the beds, but it takes up a fair amount of space, so perhaps not practical for the smaller yard. I use a regular black composting bin for kitchen scraps because of the rats and other critters, though.

  2. We sent ours away every other week. I wonder where you would get a large backyard composter? I too would worry about the 'critters'. Certainly it's worth a look around the hardware stores. Great idea!
