This is by far the best compost bin: http://www.amazon.com/Algreen-Produc...rds=composters I've been using mine more than twenty years and is still like new (only composter with a 25 year guarantee). My neighbor bought one of those $600 off the ground rotating drum composters (I told him not to), he said its a POS and stunk/stank but produced no compost, only fermented sludge. Last year he bought one like mine and loves it. It cost about three times more now than what I paid some 20 years ago but still a bargain because it works well and lasts long. I put all sorts of household waste in it plus gardening bits, but no meat products (crows here eat all meat trimmings). It's not possible to compost off the ground. Microbes do the composting, earthworms do not compost, earthworms eat the microbes and produce castings, earthworms do not eat kitchen trimmings, they eat the microbes that are attracted to kitchen scraps. There's mine, however my critters are much better at adding compost and no work on my part: http://i64.tinypic.com/fxxbbq.jpg |

This is by far the best compost bin: http://www.amazon.com/Algreen-Produc...rds=composters I'd fill that little toy up in less than one mowing. For years I used 4 pallets, stood on edge to form a cube, with short boards nailed across the top corners to join adjacent pallets at the top. Just pop the corner board off and remove the front pallet for emptying. 2 or 3 of those bins would keep me going, filling up the "freshest" and using the compost from the oldest batch(s) in the spring. |

This is by far the best compost bin: http://www.amazon.com/Algreen-Produc...rds=composters I'd fill that little toy up in less than one mowing. That composter is more than sufficient for household trimmings, coffee grounds, tea bags, deadheaded flowers and such, and any large branches, tree limbs, tree stumps, and such get tossed in the brush piles in my hedgerows for critter shelter. If you're composting grass clippings you're a fool... haven't you heard of mulching blades? I mow ten acres with two mowers, a 7' and a 5', both fitted with mulching blades, there are no visible clippings on my lawn, all those wee bits shivel up to nothingness within seconds yet they add all their goodness to my turf, and evenly, and with no extra labor on my part... even my 21" push mower is fitted with a mulching blade, no need for the bag. Were I to collect ten acres worth of clippings I'd spend more time handling clippings than mowing, and truely accomplish nothing. Like I said, if you're composting grass clippings you're a fool, a damned fool! I have lots of trees too, I don't rake leaves either, each fall I go about mowing those leaves with my mulching blades, mountains of leaves reduced to nothing, all back into the soil in no time. Golf courses and ball fields don't collect grass clippings, they're no fools, they use mulching blades. Even landscapers use mulching blades, even on postage stamp sized lawns in suburbia, no one with an IQ collects grass clippings anymore, haven't for more than twenty years... except for the fools. |

I guess I'm a damned fool who wants lots of compost for my veggy beds, and likes a mower that does a good job of lifting the grass so it doesn't grow 6" and more horizontal stems like I get with my toro "recycler". I use the recycler when I'm lazy, but the snapper does a way better job of keeping the grass healthy and evenly cut. And if I try to mulch the leaves from my neighbors poplars onto my lawn, it covers and composts the lawn. So those go through the snapper and into the compost too. I live in the city, so 7 acres isn't my problem. more like 1/3. I get 2-3 yards of compost out of my bins each year, and my veggies love it. Thanks for the helpful comments. |
