  • DRILLING FOR BLACK GOLD

    Today my son taught me how to use a drill.  It gave me the thrill of riding on a roller coaster and I laughed aloud with maniacal glee!  The power of it, punching holes with a roar!



    We "made" two compost bins out of plastic trash cans by drilling holes into them.  For years I've tried to make compost by having two bins created by skids, but all I've been doing is feeding the trees.  The trees send roots over and up through the compost, making it a tightly woven pile of tiny roots, much like an overgrown potted plant.



    Lately I've been noticing posts of other folks, who use the easy plastic trash can approach, so we're on our way to a new (and hopefully more aesthetic) method.

    It was terrible fun.
