When I visited home for the holidays, I had to take a look and see what my mom’s old composting area looked like. This really spun me out because I remember making this little frame out of cinder blocks a long time ago and it looked good. What’s funny is that if you want to compost, you can make do with this just fine…just make space and add stuff to it in appropriate quantities.
Next to this was a nice looking compost bin…again, it does the trick. You can add material nice and high and it stays fairly organized. Note the slits near bottom which double as a spot to anchor it to the ground as well as provide some needed air circulation. Way to go, mom!
To start composting, all you really need is a little space and a rough idea of what to do…that’s really it. It can be as simple or complex as you want it to be.
The following day I got to go out into the wilderness and I found myself thinking about how much the animals would appreciate all the food scraps that people throw away, especially during the winter. Who wouldn’t want to feed this guy?
