Tom and Joe built this new compost bin last week to replace our tired original construction. Snow, hail, rain, and sunshine pelted the men's shoulders and heads but they creatively worked on, enjoying the task immensely.
Two compartments add efficiency to the process.
Removable slats spare a person's back when it comes time to turn the pile or remove some of its treasure.We never have to buy soil or compost. Our garbage fees are low for we generate less garbage - recycling helps here as well. Our gardens are lush and prolific, completely organic, and beautiful. As we generate more compost than we need our friends and neighbors gladly shovel up the life-giving matter for their gardens. A win/win situation!
Tom brought the notion of composting into our lives early on. It's been one of his brightest ideas. A connection with the earth and its life cycles is understood and celebrated. Our place in the God-given responsibility as stewards is honored. We respectfully give to the earth and it returns our labors with blessings from the hands of the Creator.
Friendly Reminder: April 22nd is Earth Day.
