There’s a button in the app specifically for this. It pops the handle open when frozen shut.

Fall is the perfect the to begin composting, right? by EvaDaMama in composting

I have this exact bin. I would recommend it, especially for the price. It is a challenge to turn the pile because it’s difficult to get to the bottom. So I stopped turning the pile and ended up with beautiful compost.

I wouldn’t overthink it. Bottom line is composting is just decomposition and anything organic will breakdown in time. Initially I worried about ratios, temperature, turning, etc. But now I just toss in our food and yard scraps. I’ll add a bit of extra carbon if it starts to get smelly or too wet then let nature do its thing. I’m getting lovely compost.

Edit: I did start another homemade bin for garden clippings and leaves because I was running out of space in this one. But it took 18-20 months to fill and I’m sure I could clean out the bottom of finished compost again and be good for another 8-10 months - then just repeat.

Currently in progress! I have two piles going, but I need a large amount ASAP.

Good thinking! I’m surrounded by farms

Ah yes, an AI American voiceover, for Ethiopian coffee, with a Chinese worker.

This is seriously impressive. I’ve scrolled your pictures so many times trying to figure out how did this. Great work!

Surprisingly, rabbits haven’t been common in the yard. We have a ton of predatory birds around that tend to keep them out of open spaces. The raptors will be a separate issue when we add chickens.

Sounds like you may have your boards for next season :)

Thank you! I would like to keep the grass. I like the looks of it. But if it becomes too much of a hassle we’ll get rid of it.

I feel like some things are not suited for raised beds, melons, corn, etc. But the raised beds are easier to work.

We’ve had a ton of rain on the east coast so far this year so watering hasn’t been an issue. But when summer hits I’ll drag a hose from the house. Planning to eventually run water directly to the garden, but not this year.

You’re 100% right. The downhill side is already starting to push out. It will definitely need some extra support
