Going to fix up 3 Compost Bins. Very excited have a place for extra.

Thinking of chopping up leaves and small twigs. Lots of Manuer and Stove Ash.

Twigs take a while for me. I put them into the fall pile for spring but burn them in summer. We have trees that just keep on giving.

Me I have several old Oaks and it is always extra.

That was a draw on this place was the trees.

Now people come they are not as inthused you will have to cut. Just lost 4 trees and have to move another.

Put the leaves on concrete and use the lawn mower to shred them into fine powder. Then when you add the manure your pile will cook fast and get plenty hot. I always shread everything with the mower or tree grinder before adding to the pile.

My wife said get a Catcher and put on my mower.

Son was asking why I bought Tie Wire? I told him to put the Compost Bin together.

He said why don't you use Screws? Because it takes two Hands. Well I can do it.

I am very Blessed got 3 people that will help if they are free and have my wife.
