One side affect of being a CSA member and not having hubby here is that I run out of time to eat everything in a given week. I’ve been stock piling the vegetable matter in the freezer until I had free time to do something with it.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve priced out various compost bin options. Vermiculture was an option, but worms creep me out (I know, it’s ridiculous). Regular composting bins seemed rather expensive (this, this, and this are options over which I lusted). I wanted to do this without bringing more plastic into the house and spending a small fortune.
Concurrently, I discovered a great blog that satisfies the gardening bug I have right now. She has a post that describes how she made her own composting bin. Brilliant!! I remembered that we had a container that was about the right size for me to use to try it out. Here is what I did this afternoon:
I poured some water in the bin, put it the lid, and placed it on top of an inverted pot for air to circulate underneath it. I’ll keep you updated…
