At our last home my husband made a compost bin by purchasing a big trash can and drilling lots of holes in it, it wasn't pretty but did the job. For the last year, I have wanted again to make a compost bin...we have so many home projects on the "list" and this one hadn't happened yet. The other evening I was cutting some fresh broccoli and lettuce from our farm , it again occurred to me and daunted me - it made no sense for me to keep throwing vegetable scraps in the trash especially when it is so easy to create compost. It is a no-brainer and will at least cut down on our contribution to the landfills plus create some very happy compost for our veggies! So I went back online to the site I had seen months ago through the Santa Clara County Compost Program made an appointment this morning and picked up my new Earth Machine for $50 today! Very excited to start filling it with our scraps, coffee grinds, leaves and grass clippings and then put the finished product back in to our garden - full circle. I plan to set it up this weekend and will post again with a picture of it's new home.Friday, February 27, 2009
