It has really old, black, healthy dirt in it. <BR/><BR/>I didn't realize it was back there until after I had started my garden last year, but this year I'm turning a bunch of that compost into my soil before we plant. <BR/><BR/>I also compost in a trash can with some smallish holes drilled into it. Once it needs turning I flip the one can onto another. That keeps it from getting stinky.Devonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17768505492952325016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-5481132235159006612007-03-26T11:30:00.000-07:002007-03-26T11:30:00.000-07:00Amen to that!

I tried just dumping stuff inside our garden area during the winter, counting on the fact that it would decompose by the spring, but Michael was concerned about the risk of attracting black bears, which have been spotted in residential areas around here. Bother. Meat scraps are the worst to throw out, because then you have to empty the trash bag immediately.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517116551921874843noreply@blogger.com
