I have been pondering getting a composter for several months and finally ordered one a couple weeks ago! I am so excited to get started!!! I have been thinking about all of the food scraps that I shove in the garbage disposal or in the trash and figure I can do a little better than that. I chose a composter that I can continuously add stuff to, no need to do it in batches. This will be awesome for the kitchen scraps and for my miscellaneous yard clippings. I did lots of research and read lots of reviews before I decided which composter to get. It came in the mail a couple days ago and I have been saving all of my scraps just waiting to get out and get it all set up! Well, today was the big day (first day of no rain), and it is finally ready to go!
Mine does not look nearly this pretty right now... It was quite a muddy mess getting it all set up. It has to be on a hard surface with cracks in it so our little friends from the ground can get up inside. Needless to say I had a self taught lesson in brick laying this afternoon and seriously smashed a couple fingers in the process! I'll post a picture once I get all the muddy hand prints an dirt chunks off of it!
I was planning on composting all my fruit/vegie scraps but was shocked that you can also compost things like bread, hair, lint, tea bags, shredded paper, egg shells and even the coffee filters!
So cool!!!
All you had to say was 'Muddy Mess' and you lost me. :)
