Happy Earth Day 2011!

My wife and I are trying to be more earth friendly. This year our theme has been composting (and recycling). I built a dual bay composter with removable front slats for easy shoveling, plus removable dividing slats for easy mixing. So far so good.

A friend asked if we used wood that doesn't compost... *puzzled*... we have no clue. Hopefully it will at least last a couple of years!

Nothing we own stays shiny and new. Especially the things we keep outdoors. As you spend time outside this year try not to waste your time and energy on keeping shiny new things so shiny. Instead spend your time growing a garden, or composting, just trying to live off of the land around your house in some way. You will love the return on investment of your time and you will most likely learn a lot from it.

Thanks for reading, and hope you have a good weekend!
