New compost bins!
Here is how I spent my afternoon today! I built 3 compost bins in the back corner of the yard, just up from the chicken coop. They are built from wood pallets and clothes hangers so completely from reclaimed materials. The instructions came from someone else online . . . and it was pretty easy to put together. That is, once I’d cleared the brush from that corner and moved the manure pile. The only thing I would do differently is to use pallets with more boards than many of these have as the manure tends to go through the spaces; the plan is to use things like leaves, grass clippings and straw to stabilize the pile and prevent it going out the spaces.
