Does anyone have experience using composting bins? I'm trying to
figure out what would work best for Olga and me: we cook regularly
(very little meat), but we have hardly any yard scraps to speak of --
the only greenery around our apartment is a few bamboo trees that need
to be trimmed occasionally. From my reading, I imagine we'll want to
supplement it with a lot of newsprint and cardboard to keep it from
becoming a slimy mess. So assuming I've got the basics right, which
bin is going to work best for low-volume composting? I've found a few
that get good reviews:

It sounds like the first two don't work with worms, which is half the
fun of composting, right? So I'm inclined to go with the last one. Can
anyone impart their wisdom before I blow $65-150 on something that may
or may not work for me?
