Making the World Healthier and Happier: Compost Bin

     For many years now I have wanted to create a compost bin. Since I live in an apartment I have always put this task off saying there's not enough room and that an apartment isn't suited for such a contraption. This year I am going under the theory, if not now, when? So, I started doing some research on compost bins. I found an article that explains how to make an indoor compost bin. There are many reasons I do not want an indoor compost bin (Yuck, there's just so much that could go wrong), but I still found the article helpful because I would like to make my own bin without needing to buy a bunch of expensive tools. The website, "Apartment Therapy,"claims I can make a compost bin out of any sort of container, like a metal or plastic trash can. The process of making the bin does not sound too difficult and there are some pretty simple steps on the website I linked above. Some of this process might be trial and error until I get the right mix of refuse to soil. In theory, if I get it right, my compost bin should be clean, not smell, and reduce the amount of waste that I throw away.
