Sounds yucky to me. LOL I’m thinking about making a new compost pile using chicken wire, figure that what I have now will surely decompose by the fall.
The container is one of those bins that looks like a trash can but has lots of air holes all up and down the sides. It has a sliding door on one side so that you can raise it and shovel out the bottom part, but I’m having trouble getting the shovel in there - packed too hard or I’m just a lot weaker than I used to be.
I noticed that about myself too. :-(
Use a pitch fork or a similar tool like a spading fork...
I’m pinging you ladies because I think at least one of you might know the answer to my question:
We are getting a 5 gallon bucket of figs from a neighbor (same neighbor that gave us the bushels of apples). I am going to put up fig preserves from this. But, I would also like to do dried candied figs. You know the candied fruit cubes that you use in fruitcake cookies? I can’t find any recipes or instructions for these. The dehydrator manual I have tells me to quarter the figs to dehydrate them. Not what I’m looking for. You know the instructions for preparing citron melon? I’m looking for that kind of thing only for figs. Can I use the same basic instructions for figs too?
Inquiring minds, etc.
