good idea but kind of small isn't it?

i put all my compost material on the curb now and buy it back as Dillo
Dirt. totally worth it for me.

i used to compost but it is kind of a pain.

for op: if you're composting for a garden you could consider row
composting. Basically you just bury the material where you are planing
your gardin. More info on the web.

My situation is this:

I can back my truck up at the local landfill, and for $20, they will fill
the back of an 8' bed with compost that they have made of organic
materials they have made. This compost includes fertilizers and all the
best of things my taxes can buy.

So why do I compost, you ask. So that I have a place to put my grass
clippings, kitchen trash, and various items.

I thank all the people who were in on the discussion and had positive
things to add on the topic. I learned a lot. About composting, and about
posters.

good for you dude. i'm really glad the city p/u's our clipping or i'd have a
compost pile too. i had one at my house in round rock but because the yard
was so large i filled my bin with about 4 mowings. i needed about 3 bins to
keep up. i didn't want to mulch cause the lawn really needed to breath. it
was choked from the previous owner cause he always mulched.

you have to keep after a compost pile. it needs green and brown waste, dirt,
water, sunlight, turning. it's quite a chore.

I really like that barrel idea cause the turning is the really hard part.
but in my old house that would of held about 1.5 mowings. and i mowed once a
week in the summer.
