G'day All,
Does anyone have any feedback on the new Aerobin compost bin? Supposed
to be designed in Oz and capable of producing good compost even in shade.
Very expensive though. Should I stick to my old no-bottom, black plastic
bin? Major problem with that is it gets infested with curl grubs. From
descriptions on the Aerobin's webpage, it might be proof against such bugs.

I have been using aerobin since July. After hearing good stories about
it but so far it has not been very successful in breaking down the
waste yet. I think it lacks moisture and I have added some grey water
from washing machine to it. Hopefully it will solve the problem.
On hot days I have noticed a lot of bugs and flies inside it, but
never outside it, there is no noticeable smell either. This is my
first experience with composting.

I would never use gray water for composting.
