We've finally gotten around to starting our compost bin. These stones are from the old crumbled retainer wall we replaced last summer. This allows us to be ecologically sound and save money!
I chose this location for the composter for many reasons. The chicken yard will be right next to it to aid in ease of transfer of chicken litter to composter. It sits between my peach and nectarine trees to allow compost tea to seep into the root systems of both. It is next to the vegetable beds so I can drop in old plants easily. And it is close to the back of the house to provide a short walk with kitchen scraps and cat litter.
It feels good to build it ourselves. There is something about doing the work ourselves that we cannot ger from paying a hired hand!
