Compost Done!
As I started researching composting I found a ton of ideas for making your own bin as well as types of bins that you can buy. But I was not going to pay $100 for a compost tumbler when I have a husband and two kids who can turn compost for free! This is a cheap and simple compost bin that took no more than 10 minutes to make. We bought a rubber trash can, drilled holes in the side, top and bottom and bought two bungees to make sure the lid doesn't pop off when we roll it. We set it on a few stones so is has circulation underneath. We've added some leaves, veggie scraps, egg shells, tea bags and water. Every few days or so we (not me) will roll it around the backyard and shazam we will have compost! I'm pretty skeptical about this so I am looking forward to seeing what happens.

Wow, you roll it around and a cute Dawson appears. It is like magic!
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea! I always "forget" to go turn over the compost in my bin. Wish I had done this instead!
ReplyDeleteThat photo of Dawson reminds me of how my uncles (teenagers at the time) put me in one of those old metal trash cans and rolled me down the street. I was about 9, I think. It's a wonder I'm still alive. They called it 'sensitivity' training.
