Hubby told me to tell all to stop the projects or he's going to delete me out of GardenStew He did a great job and all I had to do was fetch him a beer now and then. I painted it this morning and started the compost. Rain barrels are next project. ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden )
Awesome job! I love stand that you can just "wheel" right under. And such a cute paint job. Tell your Hubby two things.... One:here's a beer from me... and two: he's not alone... I'm adding this to my Hubby's to do list!
You did a great job, looks like I'll be updating Toni's composter once the weather cools down. Raising it up where you can get the barrow under it is a great idea. I didn't see your questions on the other message, so I'll give what answers I can here. "Making compost barrel today. How many vents do I need and where do I put them?" I didn't put any holes in Toni's, there's enough air flow around the door flap, "Will drilling holes in barrel be enough?" I wouldn't drill any, it seems to work ok without them. "Can I put earthworms,and chicken manure in compost barrel? " Yes to both, but don't put in a lot of chicken manure at one time. It's pretty potent and the nitrogen content can be a bit of a jolt. Don't put chicken manure on your plants without composting it (or at least letting it dry and age), it's too strong.
Impressive results and for just a few beers, more impressive. Great paint job. Now, as long as my wife does not see this post I may be home free. Jerry
Donna I find that the more praise you give your other half the more he's willing to do for you. You'd better tell yours what a clever lad he is so that you get the rest of those jobs done!! We can't have him ejecting you from here now can we? I love the way you've decorated your composter and the stand its on. What a good idea for storing the wheelbarrow. Now it's a bit of garden art as well as being useful.
That looks very pretty, almost too pretty to use as a composter. I think I'll show this to my husband. He might like the idea.
