winter is possible; the composting
process will stop in freezing weather
and start again in springtime. Stir well

Spinning composter:
Suitable for a balcony or paved surface, these models
come with a mechanism or handle for spinning, which
speeds up the composting process. They tend to be
smaller and more expensive than on-ground models, but
the benefits include easy turning and a short composting
process of four to six weeks.
Vermicomposter:
This truly eco option – store-bought or homemade –
puts red wriggler worms to work consuming organic
material inside a plastic bin with a hermetic lid. This
type of composting is smaller-scale than the others, so
you may need more than one box. During cold Alberta
winters, you'll have to bring your boxes indoors to keep
the worms alive.
