All the articles I have read say that the compost should be in a wood bin which I do not have. What if I started it in a plastic bucket? Would that work? Also, should the contents be chopped up in small pieces? (We were just away and a head of cauliflower went bad) So I just put some soil in the bottom and add the stuff on top?
