Ok, so I’ve given up on making a compost “pile” because I don’t have a shovel and I fear the squirrels that think they own my backyard. It’s our fault because largepuppy and I don’t really venture outside on the back deck very often. So the squirrels think they own the place and sometimes when I peek out my back window, there they are, staring right back at me with an expression that says, “We run this s***!” just like a bushy tailed Missy Elliott. I can just imagine them digging in my pile, messing with my layers of browns and greens, and being the mischievous little hip hop critters that they are.
So we decided to make our own compost bin out of a garbage can. Here we go!
- Grab a plastic garbage can with a tight fitting lid. Round ones are good for future rolling, also known as aerating.
- Poke a bunch of holes in the sides using your teeth (or a hammer and nails or a drill, whatever works best for you.)
DONE. Compost bin ready to receive our browns and greens and magically transform said browns and greens into beautiful humus-rich compost that will magically help my plants grow into magical vegetables.
(magic!)
