Thanksgiving was spent with my dad, stepmom, & Joe. We had a wonderful time but Joe & I were antsy to start on a couple of outdoor projects since we had 65 degree weather for 2 days. You can't ask for better temperatures in November.
Joe wanted (I needed him to do this pronto because I can't take chickens in my house anymore) to start on the chicken coop and I wanted to make my compost tumbler. If you would like directions on this, please go to http://www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com/diy-how-to-make-a-compost-tumbler/ and she can show you what to do. I followed her directions to a "T" and it came out like a dream.
I plan on composting everything from scraps that the chickens won't eat, wood chips, mulched leaves, coffee grinds and filters, egg shells, and tea bags, just to name a few. When composting, you shouldn't use dairy or meat or anything else that will spoil or mold.
Do you have plans to build a compost pile or tumbler? What are your fail or success stories?
