Black gold

Mr. GV and I bought a new compost container last month. For years we'd been using a plastic container, but it just wasn't working for smell control, and frankly it looked really gross.




We've decided to turn one of our gardening beds into our compost receptacle. We've got a big compost spinner in the backyard but really don't care for it, so we're switching things up to see if it works. Mr. GV is going to build me 2 more beds this spring, bringing the total to 4. We're going to plant in 3 and keep one for compost, hopefully rotating that each year.

We've got plenty of leaves to add to the mix.

Hopefully we're growing that "black gold" out there right now!
