The latch on the back door of my compost bin broke a few weeks ago, and I got around to cleaning up the black gold that spilled out on Monday. I can easily empty yard wastes into the compost bin from the driveway, and the back door can be opened to remove the finished material when needed. Only this time I got help in opening it!
I put yard clippings, food peelings, etc., into the compost year round. Compost is, of course, fabulous as a soil conditioner and fertilizer.
I have a good system for getting the best out of the compost. I sift it as I dig it out and catch it into the green tub. That way, I only have the best and richest without any rocks, sticks or large matter. I can drag the tub on the ground, and I have a great homemade carrier for it on the concrete.
The compost bin, the sifter, and the wood tub carrier were all made for me by my husband. The sifter fits the tub, and the tub fits the carrier neatly. He is the perfect garden helper!
