As part of expanding our gardening efforts, I decided to build an additional composting bin that would allow us to store more composting materials and be more intentional about layering "brown" materials (high amounts of carbon) and "green" materials (high amounts of nitrogen). The suggested ratio between the two is 30:1, which is good because our chickens eat most of our "green" materials anyway.
Thankfully, this project didn't take nearly as long as the
chicken coop (and only required one Home Depot trip), but it was still fun to break out the ol' power saw.

I may not comment on all your posts, but I read them... you two are amazing, the stuff you're doing in the yard is so cool. I need to dig this stuff up (pun intended) and get my butt in gear... really cool stuff.
