DIY Compost Bin...

Kevin has been dumping the grass clippings in a pile in the lawn, and I got a brilliant idea that we should start a compost bin. I did a little research online ala Google and I found this. It was so simple to do and it's been my project, I did it all my self! We bought a trash can at Fleet Farm for $16, we had bungee cords in the garage, along with a drill, so the total cost of this project was $16, instead of the $100+ we've seen for pre-made compost bins. So I've been putting the grass clippings in it, along with things from the house, like vegetables, fruits and egg shells. I know there are many more things I can add to the compost, but I need to do a little more research on all of that. I roll the garbage can once a day and keep it in direct sunlight to help speed up the process a bit. Hopefully it'll make some great fertilizer for our garden!

Adeline was helping me with the project, that is why you see her sitting in a chair in front of the bin, she wanted a "cheeseburger with your garbage can Mommy!"
