Compost Happens


My compost bin has been a learn as I go sort of project. I knew I needed a good balance of nitrogen (food scraps and other green things) and carbon (dead leaves, shredded cardboard and other brown things) but I didn't know to chop up food pieces ( I found half on onion in there) or keep it watered or turn it on a regular basis.
Despite the stupid lawn man using it as a trash can, it seems to be composting well, though I doubt it will be ready in time for me to use it when I plant.
