ABSTRACT A composting apparatus for composting yard and garden waste is provided, having a solar radiation transmissive top wall disposed at an angle of 5-45° at the horizontal, and presented towards the solar incident radiation. The rate of composting of vegetable waste materials within the composter is accelerated by the warming effect of the solar radiation through the top panel. The interior of the composting apparatus is aerated by the provision of ribs open to atmosphere at their bottom ends, so that air convection currents are developed upwardly through the composting apparatus as the composting proceeds. The unit is conveniently pyramidal in shape. A fast rate of composting is achieved in the apparatus of the invention, allowing sufficiently rapid throughputs that a modestly sized apparatus will handle a seasons vegetable wastes from an average yard.
