Oh Yaaa!
Nice stuff!
ok, we're coming up with some advanced composting techniques!
1) Have a wheelbarrow! Buy, make, or borrow one.
I made a wheelbarrow once from an old battered and bent up one that was thrown away. The cheapo wheel was still good and the bucket was ok. Used 2x4's and carriage bolts and a drill to make the handles. Making the axle for the wheel was tricky, and certain sure anyone else could do it better than me, but I got some ready thread, cut it to like 6 inches, ran it through some holes I drilled on the handles, set the wheel between, discovered I had to redo the nuts. Where I cut the ready thread to length locked that end out. Had to figure on a bunch of old washers, doubled up nuts and stuff. But it worked. Every hundred yards I had to readjust the nuts on the wheel axle. One always loosened itself
It can be done with a plastic or metal barrel too. Have to be cut about in half to a good shape. Any ole wheel with a hole in the middle, like from a broken radio flyer or even an old lawn mower will do.
A better engineer than I was...practically anyone...can do it better than I did. Oh. I had a jig saw and shaped the handle ends with it, then wrapped duct tape around them. Lag screws hold the bucket to the handles. Try to come up with better than screwed on 2x4's for back legs. The single cross piece is a weakness.
My present store bought one is an awesome machine. 129 bucks, heavy duty plastic, 10 cubic feet, steel framing. 2 big wheels in front are best of all! they are flat proof semi pneumatic or something like that. I could run over a million nails and only have a bumpy ride from nails sticking out
2) Make sure the compost pile is uphill if at all possible from your garden.
Awesome stuff Boggy! I'm sure glad you came back! From a person who was not even here when you were here before.
I'm on kind of lunch, coffee break right now. Getting back to filling one of my beds now.
