Latrodectus hesperus alert!
Glossy, gorgeous, and quite frightening when three of them crawled out of the compost containers when I rearranged them this morning.
We bought the compost containers - two revolving types and one a plain bin with a door at the bottom, both made of black plastic -- last year. We found through experimentation that it is cheaper, faster, and better to use a circle of laminated chicken wire about 4' high by 3' in diameter. It is easier to monitor the ingredients, the speed of composting, and turn the results.
