Working my compost bucket

Since I haven’t convinced the hubby yet that I need an inside composter… it’s getting more expensive as the days go by as I discovered a really cool $649 one today. Hahahaha…. I have been using my five gallon buckets I got from work.drilled holes all over bottom, tops and sides for airflow, water to enter, and drain.

Each night as I walk through my garden, I remove any dry leaves, expended flowers, etc and toss them in my bucket. I also shred up paper towels I dry my hands on, collect tea bags and coffee grounds, veggie scraps, and cut up cardboard tubes and boxes to toss into my bucket.

When my seeds didn’t germinate for me this spring, I decided to dump all the seeding mix in my bucket too.

Each night after adding my scraps, I take my spade and chops it all up and turn it, mixing it all together.

It’s looking good and my bucket is filling up quick.
