you guys know all about nick's garden in the back. well, knowing how much nick could use the compost and after spending a few days at a friend's ranch out in central texas where they compost like craaazy, i realized just how much useful trash i was throwing away. so i decided we'd become a composting family. i found this super cute countertop compost bin at world market for
$14.99 and after a fruitless search on craigslist for a used composter, we ended up buying a relatively inexpensive one for
$98 from home depot. i spent about 45 minutes in 100 degree weather putting it together so it better make the best compost in the world.
btw, it's not like we're a farm or anything...although we do have egg-laying hens now...more on that soon.
