I have a garden that has lot on it and compost helps them grow. But it's expensive and heavy to carry, so since I have a lot of yard waste, I decided to get a tumbling composter that was off the ground to avoid rodents, and so far it works well. There are dual chambers which allows you to start another batch as the 1st one starts turning into compost. I would recommend this to anyone who's interested in starting their own compost.
