Welcome to Gaia! ::

I spent about an hour yesterday making CC (compost castle). I've been procrastinating on this project for weeks now but the weather was perfect and I had nothing else to do. The bin is open faced and 4 ft square. It's tucked in a corner (where it is hidden by lilacs and a barberry) right next to my garden.

P.S It wasn't really intended to be made in the image of a castle, but the leftover half blocks needed to be put somewhere. [:



yay cinder blocks!



hmm this empty spot looks nice.



after some quick removal of sod and rough leveling of the ground, the foundation is laid.



I christen thee, CC. <3

Since I'm currently living in an apartment, my compost is a worm bin on the back balcony. Now I just need to get some potted herbs to put on the porch railing, since one of my neighbors is already gardening in the tiny little patch of dirt ground out back.

that's so cute. Our compost has one piece of wood as a barrier. It's not even a real barrier. But all we put there so far is leaves. I don't know what else I should put there... My gym teacher says certain foods aren't the best idea to compost. If they aren't local, then it's not natural for them to decompost in the area.

my mother in law puts peelings, egg shells, old fruit and cooked foods ((no meat))
