Compost aging system
Tubs (15x22x11 inches) have one drain hole and are tilted to drip into the lower pans.
Each tub contains a couple inches of shredded paper and cardboard on the bottom, compost-able materials (vegetable and other plant scraps, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, dead tree leaves, aged horse manure, a little dirt, more shredded paper and a bit of saw dust) in the middle with about 1/2 pound of composting red worms and another layer of shredded paper for the top layer. Covering with sheets of newspaper seems to cut down on the flying insects.
Each tub weighs 45-70 pounds and will sit untouched for about 4 months. Tops are left open for easy humidity and airflow control. Clear tubs allow for enjoyable viewing :)
