We are also on a couple of acres and are fellow tree huggers. I actually spent a semester in Forestry school, but then realized it was geared toward cutting the trees down so I switched. I can't bear to wear anything on my feet but Birkenstocks as well; even with dresses. Although in the garden I go for the crocs.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554195760602365553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513728972273935488.post-6726676018405964912008-02-09T04:54:00.000-05:002008-02-09T04:54:00.000-05:00Cool.

It sits directly on the ground and there is a little door in the side that you can open and get the composted material out of the bottom while still adding to the top. I usually have a big bowl on the kitchen counter that I put all vegetable and fruit scraps in and take it out every day or so. You can also add your dryer lint.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516705185236516416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513728972273935488.post-55784782165566697102008-02-06T09:43:00.000-05:002008-02-06T09:43:00.000-05:00Funny you mention recycling- I was researching whe...Funny you mention recycling- I was researching where to take all theses boxes! Maybe being land owners does that to you. We are also hoping to put in a garden this year.

I recently left some yard clippings in a garden cart and forgot about them. I noticed that it turned to compost pretty quickly. In fact I dumped it into my compost pile.<BR/><BR/>I remember my dad having a small compost bin in our yard when we were kids. Try googling images for compost bins. That will give you some ideas.crispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614782132011418603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513728972273935488.post-30682689434487059112008-02-06T09:10:00.000-05:002008-02-06T09:10:00.000-05:00This compost post is well worth the wait.

Do you need worms? <BR/><BR/>I don't have much of a garden or yard, but it would still be good fertilizer for the few herbs and pots I do keep.Denise Punger MD IBCLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005314822461783855noreply@blogger.com
