Compost Bin

I started to build a compost bin in the back, right corner of the garden.  Very simple plan using 2x4s, lattice and some hooks.

Here is the start.  I was going to have to give up some corn and ditch the okra all together to do this - so I looked up some other ideas on compost and one guy reminded me that it is pretty simple - just do what dad has always done - dig a whole and put your goods in there.  Cover it up and let the earth compost it right in the garden.  The bin came down. Then I had a great idea to put the lattice in front of the HVAC unit and the trash can - the post hole digger went right through the cable line.

No one in the house was very happy - but Time Warner was out in a few hours and had us back up.  Needless to say Dad's post hole digger was put in the back of the truck and returned to prevent further issues.
