I have two compost bins. One is approx. four by four by four and the other is approx. four by six by four.

They were created to hold leaves removed from the roses in spring but as the year goes by I put grass, kitchen waste, some weeds, garden waste and what ever is handy at the moment on or IN the pile.

I let them sit for from two to four years. When they are full and will not reduce any serious amount I then put them in the garden.
On occasion when I have a weak spot in the garden, I will dig a hole approx. four by four by two and put the entire compost pile in the hole and bury it.
The next spring I will level it off if there is still a mound.

I have in the past when I was more full of p-ss and vinegar, dug a large hole after weeding and buried all the weeds I pulled. There were enough to fill several seventy gallon city compost bins, but the past few years I just have not had enough p-ss and vinegar to do that.
