Garden Prep - May 2013 - Composting

Composting seemed like a good place to start, so I looked up a bunch of information online to get started. Turns out, composting is not all that difficult to do! First I needed a place to put my compost. There are so many ways to do it, but with my limited space, a container compost made the most sense. So, using the instructions on A Full Measure of Happiness, I took an old trash barrel, cleaned it out, and had STS (husband) drill a bunch of holes in it. It took no time to do. I was composting within 20 minutes! This is a good guide for what to put in your compost.
