Compost

Here is cute Kristen in the beginnings of our ugly compost bin. In our defense, all of the components of our bin were cast offs, and therefore free. Free is good. We scavanged three pallets from around town and screwed them together with drywall screws. There was a lot of open space to let the junk fall out. Mom and Daddy had two old plastic roll up shades that were waiting for the trash pick up day. We figured it was a great way to line our compost bin to keep the stuff in and not have to worry about throwing something else into the landfill. So we fastened them in with a staple gun and started throwing our junk in.
Mom and I both have a 3 1/2 gallon bucket with a lid to put compostible material in - located in our kitchens. Kristen and Laura made a chart for her about what goes in and what does not. Today when we were there I tossed the pile and added some straw and our kitchen junk. It seems to be cooking along and does not smell. Good sign.
