As so many other gardeners have been told and have learned over the years compost is great! I agree fully! Knowing I wanted to start composting I did a quick search to see how much a ready to go composting unit cost, and got sticker shock, to buy one is not cheap at all. So I began racking my brain to figure out how to make one. I wanted a something contained because I didn't want a pile of stuff in the yard. Finally, after quite a while I figured out a solution. Concrete blocks!!! We have tons of them all over the place collected from lord knows where. So I put them to use! My compost bin has 2 sections, one for now, and one for later. When the compost in one has fully broken down I don't want to add new stuff to it is the reason for 2 bins. Here are some pictures I took to give you readers an idea. It hasn't fully settled yet, but its getting there! Happy Composting!
You will need to cover it in order for the "cooking" to start.
