We have a small, urban yard in a little city neighborhood. We'd like to try composting, but need it to be very compact and tidy. Can anyone give advice on composting in a small space? Thanks!

Vermicomposting? We do that in our kitchen.

Worm bin (vermicomposting) or also, a Green Cone. Do you know about either/both of these, Lauri??? If not, I'll have some time to link later.

I don't know about either of them! Do you have any recommended sites? Otherwise I'll google and see what comes up. Thanks!

We bought a new NatureMill for $50 on craigslist last summer. I was intimidated by it, so I sold it several months later back on craigslist. You might want to check under the "farm and garden" section there for ideas.

Thank you all for your ideas and information! I see we can definitely have a small, tidy composting set-up. It's part of my youngest's curriculum next year (OM5 Enviro Sci) but I suspect she and Daddy may get started with it earlier, as he's very keen on the idea of composting!
