Since I don't have much soil and can't have a compost bin, I decided to make a bin out of an old garbage can. I drilled holes in the can for aeration and left it out on my patio.

I put food and yard waste every week and mixed it with a small pitch fork.
Because the compost was in a closed container without soil, I expected there to be no earthworms. Surprisingly, though, I found earthworms in my compost two days ago. I was very thrilled, and this proves that the process is in fact occurring.

Recently, I cleaned out last year's compost and started a new pile. During the process, I decided to take a few pictures of the stages of my compost.
