Great idea for a thread, Kyla! Thumbs up

I'm only just starting with composting. I went to a local library and picked up a 'composting bin' that the County offers for free. It's huge! No lid and no bottom, but lots of holes for aeration. I've also been saving garden trimmings and cardboard boxes, plus @SSGardener gave me some leaves. I just need to set it all up, but I've lost a good month now this summer due to my ankle sprain. Unfortunately, I had put prunings from the rose bushes in the pile, too, and then I learned I shouldn't have done this so I'll need to spend some time separating that out. Glare
