I've no idea what old storage containers have to do with composting.
I've been composting all my life, what do you want to know? The one
thing people do that doesn't work is buy those silly rotating drum
thingies... in order to compost whatever you're composting MUST be in
contact with the ground... off the ground you're fermenting, not
composting, huge difference. This is the best composter, nothing else
works nearly as well... it's the only one with a 25 year warranty,
I've been using mine some 20 years and it's still as good as new, but
mostly it really works, and I don't need to empty it, when full I just
lift it off the pile of compost and move it over to a new location.
