We are building a magnificent composting structure. I thought we only needed three bins, but we had enough leftover lumber on the farm to build four, so why not? I am excited to get this thing done so we can finally put our kitchen compost somewhere--we have filled two containers already. Composting is a science--something about getting the right carbon to nitrogen ratio to make the best compost for growing vegetables. It is a little like making those colored sand pictures in a jar--lots of layering of grass, leaves, newspaper, kitchen waste, chicken manure and soil.
