Compost Bin Recommendations Needed
"Paul E. Lehmann" wrote in message ... I am interested in starting composting. I would appreciate some advice on what type of bin to purchase and where to get them. There are only two of us in the house so we do not have a lot of kitchen scraps but do have a LOT of oak leaves in the fall and grass cuttings in the warmer months. I have a backyard vineyard which covers about 0.1 acre for which I need to build up the organics and nutrients in the soil. Stand 4 free pallets on their edges in a square, and nail a short board between the adjoining edges at the top corners, or tie the corners together with rope. Put the "densest" board pattern on the inside of the bin. Just remove the connections from one pallet to empty. For me, 2 or 3 bins work best. Fill one, let it set while you fill the second. Use the first by shoveling off the top uncomposted material to the second. When it's empty, then start filling the first while you use the second, etc. Bob Bob |
