First time composter. I've filled my bin like three times over by now and haven't taken any out. Just keeps compressing and there is always room for more kitchen scraps

I also enjoy it! I made a compost pile for the first time last year of about a cubic meter, and I was a bit worried about the volume (I don't have that much space). I probably have 25% of the volume left but the quality of the soil seems really good!

I made a larger compost pile this year which has already been full twice before some compaction allowed me to add more stuff.
