430. My 2025 Compost bin

Nutmeg helps us lay out all the parts and piecesI got this Vivosun Compost bin off of Amazon for a bit of a cost of $150.00 but it's so worth it to see my mom have an easy place to throw her scraps and leaves and make that good rich soil for her new kitchen garden vegetable bed.I'm also going to include the link to my favorite pitchfork from AM Leonard.Please remember when you put food waste in the landfill it doesn't decompose the way it does in a compost pile. In a landfill, it is compacted in a closed environment and releases methane gas into the atmosphere, in a compost pile food waste decomposes in an aerobic environment decreasing the release of harmful green house gases. So even if you aren't a gardener it's important to keep your food waste out of the landfill. Can you recycle your neighbors scraps or find someone to donate your scraps to? In San Francisco make it mandetory residents and businesses collect the scraps for a municipal compost pile.I filled up two giant garbage bags of leaves after I filled my mom's beds with about 8 birdseed bags full of leaves and grass clippings that had been in her bin.The hugleculture method was the exactly what I needed to fill my mom's bed with soil.I actually dug all of this dirt out, rebuilt the sides, put the broken limbs in, smothered them with leaves, and then dug out my mom's dirt beneath the compost bin in order to fill this bed. But boy oh boy did it grow.Stain recommended by Nicole Burke from Gardenary.The Stain I bought from amazon.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics -...
