Make your own :0)
It's really easy. You don't even need to buy a composting bin...you just need some way to contain it, then the fun is in filling it up and making wonderful compost for your garden.
Basically you need 2 parts green: 1 part brown. Green is vege waste, lawn clippings, eggshells, tealeaves (actually those two might fall under brown, I don't know- I put them in with my vege scraps). You're not meant to put in much citrus or dairy products. I haven't got any dairy in mine, but i have a tonne of orange and grapefruit peel...it turns in to an orangey sludge, still with a citrus smell. Brown is leaves, pizza boxes, newspaper, and egg cartons. It will all break down quicker if you cut the pieces in to smallish bits.
When we move, I will have two compost bins/areas...one for use now, another that is in the making.
The real bonus about composting though, is that all that waste is not going in the landfill.
