4. I have some drain tiles about 1x1 and 2 feet tall. I dug a little trench and set the tiles a few inches into the ground, threw in some twigs, and then added some kitchen stuff peels etc. covered with leaves and topped off with the dirt I removed before setting the tile.

These can be placed side by side, and you can plant some flowers on top, so they are neat, and kinda look like planters grouped together.
I like these ideas; the one I quoted made me smile... Thanks a lot. Right now, I just have a dug hole with the garbage in it and it's starting to mound, but I hadn't placed anything on top except an upside down rubbermaid container with holes in it. I wasn't sure how to be non-offensive to the neighbors (they are just a few feet away), and still be able to compost without spending a small fortune (on those plastic turning composters). Your commentary answers this!

Glad to have sparked some ideas. To me compost should be kinda simple-it is nature’s way afterall.
