I finished planting my garden(s) last weekend-raised.
What I do not have always meant to, is a composter. I was going to go to Home D or Coop and pick one up. Any suggestions? they seem prettty straight forward. Tumbler style or free stand? Or make one? plastic garbage can?
Have any of you used fish carcass for gardens? I usually use them for crabbing. And it seems a set up for a coon or vament raid.
Compost Instructions
1 Add items to the compost tumbler that you would normally put in a compost pile. Leaves, grass clippings, leftover produce and food waste are all items that can safely be added to your compost.
2 Rotate or roll the compost tumbler at least once daily to mix all the ingredients and to aerate the compost. The tumbler conserves heat, which helps break down the contents faster. Having compost in a sealed container keeps the smell down as well.
3 Remove the compost after about 10 weeks in the tumbler. At this time, the compost will be ready for your garden. Add more items back into the compost tumbler to start the process again. Compost can be made year around, so you have a constant supply.
what should not go into a tumbler? example---weeds? do they break down enough that your compost does not have a bunch of dandelion seeds or other weeds?
Thanks
