Compost bin - cont'd. (2/2)
This is what it looks like after it's rebuilt. All the stuff I'd set off to the side is layered back in.
It will settle & start to break down pretty quickly, thus making room for more stuff to be added throughout the year. Every time I turn it, the soil will fall to the bottom and build up a nice layer to be harvested.
It's a very efficient receptacle for garden clippings & kitchen scraps. Rather than throwing out "waste" it all gets broken down into free dirt.
And, like I said, other gardeners get way more technical about it than I do. And sifting by hand is a chore, but I'm not financially or mechanically inclined to build something fancier. My way is super "low-tech" but it works lol.
