The more I see what John is doing the more I like what he's doing.
The configuration of the shredder looks like it feeds well. Check.
Bins on pavers. Check.
Sturdy steel bins not too big to water and then turn. Check & check.
A full finished bin with compost always on hand when you need it. Check.
It's laid out in a tight little configuration so there's always a place to put something. Check.
I feel kind of bested.

How in the heck do I respond to this other than saying thanks. After 50+ years, I should be doing something right.rot wrote:..

Jbest, I didn't mean to make you feel awkward.
I had seen your pictures before and was struck with a little envy when I saw one again and then I noticed the name attached and saw a little play on words.
Then I considered why it struck me so and when I followed that thinking I just felt compelled to say something to the effect of: well done.
If you read the post backwards, it actually tracks to my thinking while I was considering it all. I think a light bulb went off that put my ideas together into what I've been trying to do. Thank you for that.
Saying no more.

I find my chipper/shredder to be a tremendous asset in composting. There always seems to be branches, apple tree prunnings, etc. that need chipping before entering the compost pile. In the fall, I shred dozens of bags of leaves and sturdy soft stemmed plants like old brassicas. As long as the material has firmness or is dry, I'm in business. If however I try to shred a lot of soft materials like wet leaves, it get clogged.
About 15 years ago my wife and I decided to buy joint anniversary presents for each other. Bless her heart, most of them have been things associated with the garden (compost tumblers, chipper, tiller, greenhouse, earthboxes, etc.) Even though over our 40 years together she has never been one to work in the garden, none the less, she has surely been her gardener's biggest asset.
