Composting

So I did it. I purchased a compost bin. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by it, but thought I'd give it a shot. I purchased this one. It was inexpensive, reasonably attractive and I put it together very easily last night in my garage.

Now if you had asked me years ago if I would be composting in my very large garden while my healthy eating, cloth diaper wearing children were running around their knitting, canning, sewing mother I would have laughed and laughed at you. This is not how I pictured myself years ago, but I really like it. I think we should be living on a farm, but that's another story.

Composting seems a little tricky to me, but I figure everything seems tricky until you get the hang of it. I know my garden could really use the fabulous soil that it will produce so I'm excited to get it going. The first thing it says is to put leaves and other brush on the bottom. I have none of this, but there are many trees and forests around so I will go foraging soon.

I will keep you updated.

If anyone has any composting tips to share I would greatly appreciate it!!! :)
