Do you own a compost bin? If so, please tell me which one you have. I've been researching for a bit and like to get one very soon.

If you own any compost bin, I would love to know how you like and dislikes. How does it stand up for winter? How long does it take compose with the particular compost you own?

If you know something about compost bin, I would love to hear from you, too!

For our kitchen, I wanted to re-model in sometimes in the future (before in like 10 years) and was thinking about counter tops that were made out of recycled glass (http://www.icestone.biz).

PS - Librarything is pretty awesome.
