Best gift ever!

I'm over the moon! My Christmas present (an IOU from HH) was completed just in time for my birthday last week! It's my new compost bin! Come and see! It's 9ft long and has three compartments that are each 3'x3' It's pretty heavy duty and looks great, don't you think? The sides have heavy chicken wire and the front has 1x6 slats that lift up and out of the built-in groves. I'm to fill one end and move the material over as it breaks down so by the time I get to the third bin, it will be black gold. The weeding marathon this weekend filled up 1 1/2 bins already! And he thought it would be too big!

I have been bagging leaves from spring clean up and that, mixed with shredded newspaper and new greens, will hopefully break down fast...I'm hesitant to add kitchen scraps (there are bears in our neighborhood!) but maybe eggshells and coffee grounds will be ok....? We're debating whether to have a wooden top (on hinges) or just a heavy canvas...easy on and off for little me.

If anyone would like instructions on how to build this, please let me know.

And my Honey didn't stop there! Sunday was spent trimming trees and shrubs and seeding bare spots in the lawn.

Maybe I'll give him next weekend off and he can enjoy a golfing marathon....

Hey, he's not Hubba Hubba for nothing..LOL!!
