A Wee Bit Greener

Our new compost bin is officially operational. (Thanks Sandra!) Ben put it together the other night and I've started adding soil and kitchen scraps to the bin. For the time being we've placed the composter beside our lower deck, near the patio doors. We'll see if smell becomes an issue. However, I plan to compost through the winter and Ben thought the bin should be near a door. (No need to trudge through the snow banks!)

I have grand plans for our yard next year. (Ha! We'll see what happens in the land of reality.) Maybe our little composter will help make the yard a bit greener.

Just a thought our neighbor shared with us when he offered us his compost...it attracts mice...he recommends to keep it at the edge of your property...

Mice! Yikes!! Maybe we will move the compost bin over by the fence.
