New Compost Bin
Actually, the old compost bin from Paw Paw, set up in a new location at the property. Got it nearly full, mostly yard waste, lawn trimmings, and garden debris from when I cleared out the old garden. The last batch of compost I made turned out beautifully, which has inspired me to do a lot more composting. The interior of this pile is already scalding hot to the touch after a day or two, a nice mix of stuff. Bin is made from 4 shipping pallets and 4 wire coat hangers cut in half (to tie the pallets together), for a total cost of nothing. :) I'll probably add a second "bay" next to this to facilitate turning the pile and to also have more than one batch going at a time.
