Composting!

I recently purchased a bin for composting from Costco.  $100 got me a 80 gallon drum with a spin mechanism to keep it moving without having to make much effort.  I placed it out of sight in my backyard to avoid the wifts of decomposing kitchen and yard scraps. I collect my kitchen scraps in a 5 gallon "homer" bucket from Home Depot and every few days dump it in my 80 gallon compost bin.  I keep the bin in the sun to speed up decomposition.  It takes about 6 weeks or so to turn the material into compost soil.  You can make compost teas or just top off your plants in flowers as a fertilizer.
