When we first began composting, we used an inexpensive plastic garbage can with ventilation holes. It was fairly high maintenance. We needed to wet and turn it frequently and had problems maintaining the correct amount of moisture.
We currently have a round open-air bin that we contructed from wooden posts and chicken wire. It works great for us. My mother, on the other hand, has several large compost piles that she maintains. It takes longer to compost completely, but I believe her piles produce a better quality compost.
