I have to say, I'm one of these people who love compost. Well, I should say I love the results of compost. If you want a beautiful garden, you ought to be taking advantage of the things around your gardener yard. Now let me show you how to create a compost bin. If you've never done this before, it's really a lot easier than you think. What I'm starting out with here is about a 40-to-50-gallon standard trash bin. And it's important that you get one that has a lid where the lids lock, and I'll explain that in just a moment. Now, what I've done is, I've gone around it, and I've drilled these holes all the way around. I've used a 3/4-inch bit. And here in the top, I've used a 1/2-inch bit. This allows air to circulate through the bin itself. And you can see, I have it sitting on a pair of concrete blocks, again, for air to get inside the compost, which is an important component to making it. Now, what you want to do is, you want to use green and brown and alternate them. And what I mean by that is green could be any sort of clippings from the garden. It could be scraps from the kitchen. Now, you don't want to put any sort of meat product or cooked vegetables in here, but things like the peelings of apples or carrots -- the tops of carrots, that sort of thing. That qualifies as green. You want to chop it up in tiny pieces and throw it in here with some brown. And the brown could be the leaves that you rake up or straw or anything or pine needles that you have. And so, by <b>...</b>

UPDATE: We have modified this original design to a shallower, more airy worm bin. Check out our new design here, ryanishungry.com Cheers! Good Luck! ————————————-- Barb Finnin is part of the amazing Freshtopia team. She's a certified master composter- her specialty is Vermicomposting with worms. We were super excited to learn that we could compost in our city apartment with a homemade worm bin even though we don't have a yard. Throwing food scraps away in the garbage is not something either of us enjoys, so having a green alternative has been more than satisfying for our sustainability goals. After 4 weeks, our worms are happy and thriving. Find out more about Vermicomposting and other forms of composting on Wikipedia. Visit Barb at Freshtopia.net. Runtime- 9:47

You can now begin to put all kinds of raw fruits and vegetable scraps: banana peel, orange peel, seeds, tomato vine, coffee grinds (you may also leave the paper filter), coconut shell, and any other fruit or veggie you have. Make sure it's only raw, no processed or cooked food, do not add any bread, dairy, meat or fish. Consider your composting bin to be on a "gluten free raw vegan diet". I also recommend getting some worms from your local nursery to get the breakdown going a few weeks after starting. One of the reasons not to put cooked vegetables (unless they <b>...</b>

This is how I make up my grow mix using compost, potting soil, peat, and perlitle. Inside the greenhouse, the tomatoes are looking really good. Cucumbers doing fair, and peppers just about ready to take off. My plan is to grow these warm weather crops until late December, then switch to cole crops in this small greenhouse. Hopefully the new, and much bigger, greenhouse will be completed by then.
