Thanks for the ping. I really need to clean my compost bin this weekend. I use a (50 gallon) trash bin someone had thrown away. I cut a square hole in the bottom and made a door so I can turn and remove the compost. I also drilled a number of holes in each side.

I usually start my tomato seedlings the first week of Feb, so I’ll be doing that this weekend. Same for bell peppers. The wife mail ordered some heirloom tomatoes last year. Talk about a bust, we never got on decent tomato from those plants. That was a waste of money.

I’d like more information on your composter. I’ve been looking at the tumbling composter bins, but they’re kind of pricey. My hubby said he could make one similar, we have some 55 gal. plastic drums we could use. Any additional specifics you could share just might get me a composter barrel this spring. :)
