Compost Bins

Before our winter storm, which is predicted to cover us in several inches of snow, I thought I'd share this photo of my new compost bins. Since we're in a city, we can't pile up the leaves on the edge of the woods anymore, so we invested in these two bins. They're a little floppy right now since they're halfway full, but I've staked them. We have a city compost site, and that costs $35 a year, which is affordable. However, I have to transport the leaves, which is certainly doable, but I'm going to plead laziness...no...efficiency! I can empty the gathered leaves into the bins without driving. The finished compost will be close to my future garden.
