They are made of plastic and have air slots all around them. Compost will rot if it can not be aerated. I have a Compos-Tumbler which works much better than anything I have ever used and it speeds up the process. Compost can be made from just about anything except meat and meat by-products. Grass clippings, weeds, hay, table scraps of veggies, crushed egg shells, and shredded newspapers, but don't use the glossy sheets. Most newspaper ink now has a soy base and is not harmful. There are garden red worms and fishing red worms and they don't mix. In other words, do not buy red worms from a bait shop and expect them to eat your garbage. If you are just going to grow a small amount of wheat grass, then it would be cheaper and much more sanitary to purchase a small bag of compost to use for planting.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.organicgardening.com http://www.motherearthnews.com If you want to use a compost bin, you will have to buy one because they are specifically made for composting.
