Building a Compost Bin
What a perfect housewarming prezzie! The first thing I have to do before I do anything in my new garden is get myself a compost bin. Mowing the lawn, trimming my bush (Oooh Matron!), just has to wait until I have somewhere to make compost.
So I bought myself a handy little cordless drill and got down to it this afternoon.
The bottom layer of planks are fixed in to the bottom of the corner posts so it creates a solid square frame. I am siting the compost area in the darkest area at the corner of an otherwise sunny, South facing garden.
Once the bottom layer of planks were fixed firm, I just slotted in the other planks on the other sides.
So now the compost bin is ready to start brewing! Daisy's Sister lives nearby at a local riding and livery stable here in the New Forest. So my new best friend can let me have an unlimited supply of fresh horse manure! What more could a Girl want? Newly mown grass, hedge clippings and fresh horse manure! I know that all my fellow veggie growers will understand.
So, Daisy made the first contribution! My little 'Compostador'

DON'T COMPOST DAISY! Hahaha, look at you getting all DIY-y, I love it. That looks like a darn good compost bin and how wonderful that Daisy has a sibling near by (not to mention horse poop, which is what we use, free from a local stables!).
