So late this year with cleaning up outside! Composting is the only outdoor activity I'm prompt with, it seems. Since I'm about to empty my finished compost pile, I'm going to let these weeds sit a few days and dry out. After that, I'll be adding to them to my new pile.

http://www.rodalesorganiclife.com/garden/how-to-build-compost-bin Check the link above for a semi-technical three-bin design that will result in the most hassle-free composting there is. If I had the space for a three-bin system, I'd be on it in an instant. In other words, when you work with large bins, there's much more room for error as opposed to a worm system or composting with a pair of trash cans. The only aspect of this design that I deviate from is the process itself- I don't turn compost at all, so I'd just keep the middle bin full of cover materials, add to the first bin for up to a year using cover materials from the middle bin, then work on the third bin when the first is at capacity.
