We've had the compost bin ever since we've moved in about a year and a half ago. It has been interesting to see how the food and waste breaks down - although a bit hard to tell as we only ever look in from the top when taking the lid off. There is always an abundance of insects and worms in there though. However it is also a hiding/breeding ground for slugs...
We've got a bog-standard black plastic bin from the local council. All of our food waste (except meat and cooked food) goes in plus paper and a bit of grass (not too much grass otherwise it turns to sludge). The other day Mr decided to take the whole bin off and give the contents a real good turning over as it's pretty difficult to do so just by taking the lid off.
