Does anyone have some answers here?
I was able to get a 60 plastic gal drum, put a rod through the middle and
built a stand so it can now rotate (end over end) making mixing very easy.
It's also a great place to put daily kitchen scraps so the wildlife can't
get to it.
It quickly became clear that I could expand on this idea significantly.
I'd like to add a three bin compost pile where I can recycle much more
than kitchen scraps. Things like cardboard from food packaging, newspaper
and such could be added. However, I have a problem -
1, I need some type of structure to neatly organize the three piles. Wood
bins, plastic bins, wire, etc.
I heard that some communities offer these at discounts as incentive
for homeowners to compost.
2, I don't have access to enough green material around my home to mix with
the brown.
3, I can use fresh manure (cow, chicken, rabbit) to help speed up the
compost mix and to improve the overall quality.
Curious if there are other people or groups in my general area who
have solved this problem.
Thanks, Cordalie
