Compost bin confession after 30 years of dumping scraps
I finally realized last month that I was tossing my kitchen scraps into a lidded plastic bin that basically turned everything into a slimy mess. My neighbor Maria in Tacoma let me peek at her open pile with the brown stuff layered in, and the difference was night and day. I had been choking my compost with too much green waste and zero airflow, so now I mix in shredded cardboard from the mail pile every other day. Has anyone else had that embarrassing moment where a simple backyard setup beat your fancy $150 tumbler?

Wondering if it's really worth the fuss honestly, since a slimy bin still breaks down eventually and you're just saving scraps either way. Maybe the free pile wins on cost, but is that really an embarrassing moment or just normal trial and error?
