I know that it may seem a silly question, though I just have to ask.
How to you make a compost?

Do you just put all your food scraps in a pile in the corner of your garden or do you need to put it in a bin of some sort?

I just don't want to make a huge pile of scraps that the kids can get their hands into, also I don't really want it to smell to bad. Mostly for the neighbours as they are right next to the garden, city living hey....

Anyway any ideas would be great. Also if there was any way of making one that didn't cost much money if any and use things from home?

Also once the compost is broken down, you do use it on the garden don't you?

OR maybe I should make a worm farm, I just saw one when reading online. Is it really the same thing but just with worms to break it up?
