Re: Hmmm...will this work or am I asking for trouble?

It was 73 here in MO on Saturday and I'm thinking of composting and garden building too. I have a whole bin full of delicious compost that was done last fall but I didn't get to empty it before it got cold and dark. It's almost like spring here already. It's been so mild that the baby greens in my cold frame never froze off. I'm eating spicy turnip and mustard greens in my salads.

I wish I had your energy and budget. I can only wish for those things. There is no room in my yard for a compost pile, that is why I do worms instead and I have everything piled up in my garage, on the side of my yard and in my patio. If I had a place for a lawn building, that would probably be full too.

You could just let those potatoes grow in there!

Here is my 'after' picture! I'm cleaning out my beds, getting ready for the summer stuff. Decided to flip it over and actually make a bigger one. The one posted here is just a little too tall and kept dumping over.

Pretty much compost and pieces of leaves at the bottom!

If I was that dog I would totally roll around in that! Nicely done.
