Yes, that they are. I told the wife those reminded me of growing up on the farm.
Actually, I have an old 85 gallon trrash bin that I use for compost. It was abandoned near our current home. I cut a hole in the very bottom, added some strips to keep it in place when being filled, and drilled several holes in the front, back and sides. I just toss everything into it and open the bottom to turn it and get out the finished product.
Once again that green-eyed monster is haunting me!!! LOL!
My compost pile is just that, a pile. Hubby did nail together 3 old pallets back behind the barn in order to (semi) contain it, but I just basically toss anything and everything back there in the general vicinity.
And with that, I've got to run. Need to go to the store and then go cut more grass before hubby gets home. Hopefully I can coerce the 10yo into raking up grass clippings to toss into the pile, along with the 2 coffee cans of stuff I have on the kitchen counter!
Later.
