Compost

About a month ago I started a compost pile in the backyard. To keep it contained, I drove some old wood siding into the ground and wrapped screen around it on three sides, both materials I found in the basement. I started with the leaves from the yard and food scraps. I've been turning it and adding material every week. It's coming along at a surprising rate. Very cool. I can watch banana peels disappear. :P
